Speakers who are Top Academics and policy makers in in Global Health, even if they aren’t very EA affiliated. I’ve been to one EAG and the most impactful connection was with a professor who I think isn’t super EA affiliated. I think she was one of perhaps 2 in that category—I think at least 5 could have been great.
This has the benefits of connecting EA people with powerful people in the Global Health world, drawing powerful people perhaps a little closer to the EA community and way of thinking, and also gives us a bit of perspective out of the echo chamber we might be in.
