This week, we had the pleasure of interviewing one of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential people: Dr. Nabarun Dasgupta, Senior Scientist at the University of North Carolina. He runs the Street Drug Lab, an innovative lab that is on the front lines of harm reduction work here in North Carolina and across the country. As we celebrate the first decrease in overdose deaths in 5 years, we know that his work and the work of harm reductionists everywhere have played a major role in that decrease.
