  on: Policy ad­vo­cacy for erad­i­cat­ing screw­worm looks re­mark­ably cost-effective

  The ‘gold standard’ in animal welfare Corporate Campaigns are estimated to halve the suffering for 66 years of chicken life per dollar spent.

  IT HALVES THE SUFFERING FOR 66 OF CHICKEN LIFE FOR EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR SPENT??? Wow, just, wow… I’m completely out of words. I had no idea these charities were so unbelievably effective. Can you provide me with some source on that?

[Question] Is there any way to be con­fi­dent that hu­man­ity won’t keep em­ploy­ing mass tor­ture of an­i­mals for mil­lions of years in the fu­ture?

  Thank you a lot for your response! I feel a lot more assured now.

Are abil­ities in bioin­for­matic re­search rele­vant for a ca­reer in biorisk re­duc­tion?

  in reply to: M_Allcock’s comment on: Risks from so­lar flares?

  I was unaware that solar flares could carry an extinction risk. I thought that it could at worst make silicon-based technology unusable for a few centuries.

  on: Risks from so­lar flares?

  Solar flares are temporary events, so I suppose that a solar flare, however bad it could be, could not be classified as an existencial risk.

[Question] Would it be bet­ter to start a biotech­nol­ogy grad­u­a­tion next year or to start a biolog­i­cal sci­ences one now?

  I’ll do that, thank you!

  CS=Computing Science? How is computing science relevant to this field?

  I haven’t considered taking two undergraduate degrees at once. I’ll think about it.

  But have no idea on where to start. Please, just give me some direction, if you are able to.

  I have applied, but they rejected me 🙁 I know that it varies greatly from person from person (I have read 80.000 hours’ page on personal fit), but what is the best undergraduate degree in general, not taking personal fit into consideration?

  What is the best graduation for someone who wants to do research in biosafety /​ artificial pandemic prevention?

  Should I do a baccalaureate in Biological Sciences, Biotechnology or some quantitative field?

Some­thing to make my­self fas­ci­nated with com­put­ing sci­ence and AI.
