This month, UNC epidemiologist Nabarun Dasgupta was named as a recipient of a MacArthur “Genius” Grant, an $800,000 award in recognition of his lifesaving work to help fight the opioid epidemic. Dasgupta’s Opioid Data Lab tries to determine the actual contents of drugs found on the street, to help individuals made smarter choices and to help first responders and therapists provide better care. He’s also spent years working to prevent overdose deaths by providing naloxone to communities around the U.S.
Aaron welcomes Dasgupta to the studio to discuss his work – and his reflections on winning the MacArthur grant. (He’s only the third MacArthur winner ever in UNC’s history.)
