This looks really great! I was wondering is there any chance that the conference call will be recorded? 7PM PST is a bit late for those of us in GMT, and I would be super keen to hear more about what you and your team have been up to!
Also I am probably just wrong about this, but isn’t there a fairly strong correlative link between higher IQ and higher income? Shouldn’t we expect that the IQ benefits of salt iodization would lead to increased economic outcomes given the correlation between these two traits? Or is the rough idea that we shouldn’t expect to see that correlation in the context of the developing world?
It will indeed be recorded and posted on our website, sorry about the time zones its hard to accommodate everyone outside of normal working and sleeping hours given the spread of the EA movement.
So re-IQ it was really tricky, your right there is pretty good evidence of developed world income and IQ correlation but generally we found metrics like this did not connect as strongly to the same result happening in the developing world as we would have expected and found a lot less evidence for a connection in the developing world. Additionally there was quite a bit of data on the lack of correlation with IQ and subjective well-being and health in the developing world which further worried us. We can see reasonable people making different judgement calls on how to weight off these factors.

Awesome- thanks for clarifying! Looking forward to listening to the recording.
