I’m personally less optimistic about advocacy especially in targeted scientific and medical domains, because I think there’s a strong worry that the professionals should do their jobs (especially since they’re likely to be overtaxed very soon) and advocates can easily be more harmful than helpful.
I’d feel more optimistic about this if EAs in biosecurity or public health strongly encourage this (though I understand if this isn’t politically feasible for them to do so).
