Description

Max's guest is Dr. Carolyn Roberts, an assistant professor of history of science and medicine at Yale University. Max and Carolyn discuss the role physicians had in the British transatlantic slave trade, from the coast of Africa to the Americas, as well as the burgeoning of the pharmaceutical industry then; and what lessons we can learn from this history in order to continue improving the nature of medicine and its role in the lives of historically marginalized populations.
