Assignment task:
Choose one case from the history of science that illustrated the treatment of underrepresented populations. First, define the population. A population is a general description of the underrepresented group; for example, "women", "People with Disabilities", and "African Americans" are all examples of populations (although there are others). Next, describe the event, including details about the event itself as well as its significance to the development of science. Finally, emphasis the impact on both society and direct impact on underrepresented population.
NOTE: this topic has the potential to lead into sensitive discussions. Please be respectful and mindful in this week especially. And as usual, you may not highlight an event that has already been described in the discussion. Post early to get your first choice! To help everyone keep with this requirement, please use a descriptive title for your post.
