DOI: 10.1080/01419870.2017.1343484
Abstract: ABSTRACT Research on black authenticity identifies “oppressive othering” and “white standards of beauty”, particularly lighter skin tone, as key components. Few studies disentangle which of these two theoretical components matter the most for a particular… read more here.

Cherenkov emission in realistic optical body phantoms to study effects of skin tone on imaging delivery technique
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Physics in Medicine and Biology"
DOI: 10.1088/1361-6560/ae237d
Abstract: Objective. In radiotherapy, Cherenkov light emitted from tissue originates predominantly from depths of 0–5 mm within the body, and subsequently darker skin can reduce the observed signal passing through the epithelium. The goal of this… read more here.
