Science is supposed to be impartial, ethical, and concerned only with the truth, but in many cases science is none of those things. From the infamous Tuskegee experiments to deliberate falsification of scientific results for political purposes, from leaving women out of medical studies to developing devices that are much more effective on White people than on Black people, science is as prone to bias as any other field. The book looks at examples of biased science and the results on society.
