Carl Hart

Dr. Carl Hart is a neuropsychopharamacologist at Columbia University, where he conducts research and teaches  Undergraduate and graduate courses in neuroscience, psychology, and pharmacology. Dr. Hart is committed to the people who are sick and tired of seeing their tax dollars being used to fund unethical people and corporations, which ultimately perpetuates social inequality and does not lead to effective drug policy.  A key element of his approach is the use of empirical evidence to guide public policy, in order to have more humane and effective criminal justice policy, and a healthier and more productive society overall. His book, High Price: A Neuroscientist’s Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know about Drugs and Society has been called a fascinating combination of memoir and social science.
