Defining YOU with Helena J
#14 Diversity in the sciences with Dr. Sophia George, PhD
Show Notes

Have you ever wondered, what life would be like, if science was unbiased? 

There’s a loaded question for sure. 

If you asked any scientist, they would assure you that science is the most objective discipline there is.

Yet the lack of diversity in the scientific field has actually contributed to the development of regulations that continue to alienate people of color.

Today’s guest is someone who seeks to change all of it. 

With both a PhD in the medical sciences, Doctor Sophia George opens up about her experience as a woman of color and as an immigrant from the Caribbean island of Dominica, and how she continues to fight to have her voice heard, and to get more folks of color in influential positions in the scientific and research community.

Listen to this fascinating conversation about the role that diversity plays in the development of treatments that could save your life.
