Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins: A Conversation on the Science of Human Difference
Join us for a thought-provoking evening with Dr. Shoumita Dasgupta as we celebrate her groundbreaking new book, Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins — part of the yearlong Being Human spotlight at the Museum of Science.
In conversation with award-winning science journalist and author Angela Saini, this dialogue will explore the science behind race, ethnicity, sex and gender, and disability — unpacking how these aspects of identity have been misunderstood, misused, and often weaponized in medicine, policy, public discourse, and emerging technologies.
Drawing on years of classroom conversations and scientific research, Dr. Dasgupta offers a clear, accessible, and interdisciplinary look at the biological facts — and persistent fictions — that shape our understanding of human difference.
Written for audiences from high school students to professionals, Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of science, equity, and social justice. Come ready to learn, reflect, and explore how we can all contribute to a more inclusive, informed future.
The evening will conclude with a book signing with Dr. Dasgupta.
