“Follow the science” we have been told – many times – over the last year.

It makes good sense…and yet, there are times in history when societies have followed the science – or at least the science of the times – and it has led them into some very troubling places. And there are signs we may be doing so again.

In this episode of Reading our Times, Nick Spencer talks to the science writer and broadcaster Angela Saini about her book 'Superior: The Return of Race Science.'
