I’m the Founder and Co-director of The Unjournal; We organize and fund public journal-independent feedback, rating, and evaluation of hosted papers and dynamically-presented research projects. We will focus on work that is highly relevant to global priorities (especially in economics, social science, and impact evaluation). We will encourage better research by making it easier for researchers to get feedback and credible ratings on their work.


Previously I was a Senior Economist at Rethink Priorities, and before that n Economics lecturer/​professor for 15 years.

I’m working to impact EA fundraising and marketing; see https://​​bit.ly/​​eamtt

And projects bridging EA, academia, and open science.. see bit.ly/​eaprojects

My previous and ongoing research focuses on determinants and motivators of charitable giving (propensity, amounts, and ‘to which cause?’), and drivers of/​barriers to effective giving, as well as the impact of pro-social behavior and social preferences on market contexts.
