I am 31 years old with background in Biology/Biotechnology and pivoted to the world of Information Technology about 6 years ago with a Master’s degree in High Performance Computing & Data Science. I am currently based near Barcelona (Spain) working as a research engineer in a supercomputing research center.
Following on from this EA post, I decided I should identify impactful projects/organizations/people that are are doing exceptional work, and see if/how I could help with them. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
...and so on. Of course, do your homework/due diligence, but these are probably already vetted by various sources who are skilled at evaluating the (potential) impact of a project.
Hi all!
I am 31 years old with background in Biology/Biotechnology and pivoted to the world of Information Technology about 6 years ago with a Master’s degree in High Performance Computing & Data Science. I am currently based near Barcelona (Spain) working as a research engineer in a supercomputing research center.
Following on from this EA post, I decided I should identify impactful projects/organizations/people that are are doing exceptional work, and see if/how I could help with them. Can anybody point me to the right direction?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Paolo,
Thanks for the question! There are plenty of places to look at (potential) impactful projects, e.g.:
AI safety map
Biosecurity map
GiveWell top charities
Grantees of Open Phil, SFF, LTFF
...and so on. Of course, do your homework/due diligence, but these are probably already vetted by various sources who are skilled at evaluating the (potential) impact of a project.
