I feel like even though I never really went anywhere with my degree, being a science major was HUGELY important to my personal growth. Whether I’d have gotten that if I’d studied something else I can’t say, since I think *that* would mean I came from a more supportive background.
Biochemistry really opened my eyes to bias, since the one term, get-it-over-quickly course was one of the tenured professor’s baby. A big chunk of course was about free radicals, which was this guy’s focus.
So if someone who was supposed to be that relatively impartial could be that biased in what he told me and why, what about media, politicians, all my schools before college? Yeah. That.
