1) I wrote a response piece in openDemocracy defending EA that got 218 shares on Facebook. I also reached out to Lisa, who wrote the original article, and we had a good chat—definitely friendly and I think the debate helped both of us advance our goals/interests.
2) I finally published an article on the EA forum covering the “meat eater problem” that I’ve been trying to publish for ages. This represents a ton of hard work and thinking that I’ve done over the last several months. I intend to follow it up with another blog post on many of the questions that I still don’t have answers to.
3) The Reach Every Mother and Child Act, the bill I’m working on, just reached 100 co-sponsors! This is a major achievement—many of the co-sponsors were added on after I met with representatives’ staffers.
4) I was accepted into global health masters programs at Harvard and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine! I haven’t decided which program to do yet, but that’s probably what I’ll be doing next year :)
Congratulations on the acceptances! Good luck wherever you choose to go.
Exciting to hear about the REACH act, I’ve been following your efforts there through your posts for The Life You Can Save, so keep those up :-)
Great articles! I think the Open Democracy piece really started a good conversation. The meat eater problem is indeed an important issue, and I will look forward to reading your subsequent post.
Again, I love this, Gleb!

Keep doing what you’re doing, Scott!
