But we’ve been taught that melanated skin is a natural SPF. Shouldn’t it be enough to protect us?!  

Don't get us wrong- the essential vitamin D we make from sun exposure is where it's at, but measures should be taken to protect against UVA and UVB rays- even for melanin rich kings and queens.

But we’ve been taught that melanated skin is a natural SPF. Shouldn’t it be enough to protect us?!  

Don't get us wrong- the essential vitamin D we make from sun exposure is where it's at, but measures should be taken to protect against UVA and UVB rays- even for melanin rich kings and queens.

The scientific community has oftentimes wanted to separate itself from matters of race in the interest of objectivity, but what role has science played in perpetuating and upholding standards of inequality against Blacks? In this episode, Drs. Alicia, Devyn, and Nyote will discuss the historic way in which scientific racism has shaped beliefs about Black people. This episode examines how a history of hatin' towards Blacks has instilled feelings of fear and distrust towards scientists and physicians, further widening the gap in science literacy, among other things. 

In the words of Maya Angelou, "I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going." Science for the Culture hopes this historical look at science and racism addresses the longstanding fears within the Black community and encourages listeners to take agency over their future engagement with science for the betterment of their health.
