Kathryn Paige Harden is a psychologist and behavioral geneticist whose research examines how genetic differences relate to education, social inequality, and adolescent development. She is a professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Austin and directs the Texas Twin Project, which studies how genes and environments shape development. Her book *The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality* argues for taking genetic research seriously while using it to advance, rather than undermine, social justice.
