Thanks, Toby! I think we’ve always interpreted our mission—questioning existing norms in medicine, science, and public health—pretty broadly. This episode is less closely tied to bioethics than most (though heavier on the norm questioning), with the link being that longtermism and David’s work have significant implications for priority setting in research and global health (eg, pandemic vs malaria prevention).
Looking forward to listening! Are you guys branching out from bioethics content?
PS- great to see an Amplify grants success story :)
