Starting with four, a fifth will be added on Thursday.
We’re currently waiting on confirmation for the GiveDirectly article. Someone from GD will take part, but it may not be the author, Paul Niehaus.
Don’t worry, Enlli will also get a bio.
Paul Niehaus won’t be joining us for this AMA, but you can still read his piece and discuss it here on the Forum.
