NZ: You’ve probably already thought of this, but you should reach out to New Zealand EA! I know a couple of people in the NZ EA community — DM me if you’d like to be put in touch.
LAW: You could also reach out to the Legal Priorities Project for connections with the EA & Law community. SLEA and HLSEA are two other options.
OPEN QUESTIONS: A lot of your “Open Questions” seem like (with a little tweaking) pretty good questions for forecasting, like the type on Metaculus or INFER. At a minimum, you could post a few markets on Manifold, but you could also go bigger and get decision-relevant info from other platforms. Let me know if you want more help with this — forecasting as a field can seem a lot more intimidating than it actually is!
OTHER/EVERYTHING: You can/should post on the EA Groups Slack and the EA Anywhere Slack (if appropriate). They each have channel(s) dedicated to “opportunities” or “careers” or “resources” etc.
Hope I could help! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with — can’t wait to see y’all at EAG London :)
Thanks a lot for your super valuable suggestions! Connections with NZ EA community would be very useful. I have already drafted a question for Metaculus, but I’m very new to forecasting. I will DM you to discuss more :)
Further to Saul’s suggestions, SAFE and New Zealand Anti-Vivisection Society (NZAVS) are strong national organisations which work in influencing animal welfare policy. I have some connections to both organisations if you need a link.
The New Zealand Animal Law Association (NZALA) is also a good organisation to connect with. I understand that NZALA often works with SAFE.
This looks awesome! Congrats on everything :D

Thanks for suggestions, Melody!
