Hello Ben(what if you could give 20% of your income? Would it be double more impactful)
1.Thanks for answering, there are fewer people in EA working at biology field.
2.ETG is really somethink we can conisder about, according to Toby Ord’s podcasts on 80000 hours, he said talent gaps are much needed instead of funding gaps, most EA comapnies would rather get a great worker rather than getting $100000 donation,(but things like animal welfare may be different, its funding gaps are bigger). You should also consider careers like biology professor, if you’re a good one, you’re actually winning research funds for important topics like malaria research for EAs, too.
3.Yeah, of course medicine gives you social skills and medicine knowledge can be used more medical research I don’t know medicine, but I doubt:(i)If you’re working in non medical field(such as animal welfare, lab-grown meat), do you need those detailed clinical medicine knowledge?(ii)Won’t working as a resaercher(bioinformatics engineer) better for building your career capital rather than being a doctor? The two areas require different experiences.
4.As my article, is medicine a more narrow subject? CS is more useful than biology, because every company needs CS employees, but maybe not biology. An medicine is only human-biology. You don’t need medicine to work at AI risks or climate change.
Sorry if my comment showed disrepect for someone who is expert as medicine.
