What a bad thesis. Does she mean western science which is older than 15th century and a reaction against religious enslavement of ideas? Or Chinese science from BC?
Out perhaps just industrial revolution, which is just a tiny chunk of whole science?
I suspect this is some form of argument from ignorance or cherry picking.
The argument "comes from slavery" can be applied to everything. If it is about science fuelling colonialism, perhaps, but the same thing can be said about both capitalism, feudalism and more. People have often used gains of all kinds to further selfish agenda at the cost of others.
