Hi Ryan—in terms of the Fellowship, I have a lot of thoughts about what we’re trying to do, which feel better suited to “musing, with uncertainty” than “writing an internet comment”, so let me know if you want to call/chat about it some time? But the short answer is I think the key pieces to keep in mind are to view the fellowship as 1) a community, not just individual scholarships handed out, and as such also 2) a multi-year project, built slowly.
Hey Catherio, sure, I’ve been puzzled by this for long enough that I’ll probably reach out for a call.
Community effects could still be mediated by the relevance of participants’ research interests. Anyway, I’m also pretty uncertain and interested to see the results as they come in over the coming years.

Have you guys ended up doing this call? If so, do you feel like you have a (compressed) understanding and/or agreement with OpenPhil’s position here?
We didn’t do any call yet!
