The Story with Charu

What are the stories we are told and what are the stories we believe? In most newsrooms across the world there is a morning meeting where reporters discuss the most important stories of the day and which ones to put resources into covering.

I want to explore the questions we need to be asking, the stories we need to hear and what exactly is the truth.

It’s well known among people of color, type 2 diabetes runs in our families. Often thought to be due to diet or lack of exercise, now research shows that if your ancestors faced famine or food insecurity you may be at risk.

In this interview Dr. Ananya Banerjee, Assistant Professor and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism (EDIAR) Lead at the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health School of Population and Global Health at McGill University talks about her work in the field.
