    In 1935, David Nutt (David), while attending the Hotchkiss Prep School in Connecticut, attended a lecture by Capt Bob Bartlett on the Arctic. Bob was a legendary figure who explored with Robert Peary, Vilhjalmur Stefansson and others. As a result he went to Greenland with Bartlett aboard the RV Effie M. Morrisey for five trips in the summers of 1935 thru 1940. Nutt lists Bartlett as a mentor as well as Waldo Schmidt of the Smithsonian Institution. In June of 1941, David graduated from Dartmouth. He was already in the Naval Reserve and was called to active duty the month before graduation. The Navy detailed David as Executive Officer to the USS Bowdoin, formerly the RV Bowdoin that was sailed by McMillan to the Arctic on numerous occasions. The Bowdoin was fitted out to do hydrographic surveys and in 1942 and 43 conducted hydrographic work in Greenland waters – most notably the hydrographic soundings of Sondestrom Fjord where the American base Bluie West Eight was located and other fjords where U.S. bases were established. In 1944, David was detailed as Executive Officer aboard the USS Sumner, a fleet hydrographic vessel. In early 1945 he became the Commanding Officer of the Sumner. It was the first U.S. ship to enter North China since 1927 and later was the first U.S. ship to enter Bikini Atoll since 1940. He and his crew completed the hydrography of the atoll. He was released from active duty in 1946. Captain Nutt, purchased the Blue Dolphin from Amory Coolidge after returning to New England. It was fitted out as a hydrographic ship by the Navy. He used the vessel on Office of Naval Research Contracts for a variety of scientific research projects in the Arctic. Among his Principal Investigators were Larry Coachman, Per Scholander, Dick Backus and others. He describes the work that was performed on the Blue Dolphin in detail in the interview. He was recommended for Operation Windmill by Waldo Schmidt of the Smithsonian Institution. Windmill was a follow-on expedition to Antarctica to establish survey control points for the aerial photography taken during “Operation High Jump.” Captain Nutt sailed to the Antarctic aboard the USS Edisto in 1947- 48 as a naval observer and curator for the Smithsonian Institution. Capt Nutt sold the Blue Dolphin in 1961, but continued Arctic research project for many years afterward. He served on the Board of Governors of the Arctic Institute of North America and the American Polar Society for many years. He is retired, near Dartmouth in the of Etna, NH where he has lived for the past 55 years.Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation

    The role and basis of the drug laws

    On 30 October 2009, the home secretary in the UK asked David Nutt to resign from his post as chairman of the government's advisory council on the misuse of drugs. The previous day, the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies at King's College London had published Nutt's paper, 'Estimating drug harms: a risky business?'. This is an edited version of his Eve Saville memorial lecture, delivered at Kings College in July 2009. The paper points out that ecstasy and LSD are less dangerous than alcohol. He had previously clashed with the home office over his editorial, 'Equasy - an overlooked addiction with implications for the current debate on drug harms', published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology in January 2009. This reflects on the reality that ecstasy is overall less harmful than riding. The home secretary was not amused, and the relationship between academic publication and scientific advice to government was cast into the limelight. David Nutt is now chair of the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs.
