In 1978, when workers at a nearby phosphate refinery learned that
the ore they processed was contaminated with radioactive dust,
Karen Messing, then a new professor of molecular genetics, was
called in to help. Unsure of what to do with her discovery that
exposure to the radiation was harming the workers and their
families, Messing contacted senior colleagues but they wouldn't
help. Neither the refinery company nor the scientific community was
interested in the scary results of her chromosome studies. Over the
next decades Messing encountered many more cases of workers around
the world-factory workers, cleaners, checkout clerks, bank tellers,
food servers, nurses, teachers-suffering and in pain without any
help from the very scientists and occupational health experts whose
work was supposed to make their lives easier. Arguing that rules
for scientific practice can make it hard to see what really makes
workers sick, in Pain and Prejudice Messing tells the story of how
she went from looking at test tubes to listening to workers.
