I’m a high school textbook editor and a scientific illustrator with a theoretical physics background from Italy. I’m currently researching how I can pivot my career to maximize, or at least improve, its impact.

Thank you! Thanks for pointing out that mistake as well, I’ve just fixed it :)
Thanks a lot!
And thank you for catching that, good and poor decision-making were indeed flipped. I’ve just updated the post and the Drive files with the correct version :)
Thank you Joseph, really appreciate it!
I made an infographic for the Introduction to Effective Altruism post (feedback welcome!)
Hi Toby, thank you so much for your message!
Sure, here is a link to my scientific illustration portfolio.
Yes, I have subscribed to the Forum Digest and got yesterday’s email. I plan to dive into the posts very soon :)
Hello there, my name is Martina! I joined the forum yesterday.
I have a physics background and I currently work as a scientific illustrator and high school textbook editor, but I’m here to explore how I can pivot my career to have a bigger impact and also feel more fulfilled. The path I’m most drawn to at the moment is AI safety, although I still have a lot of research to do, and because I’ve only been working for two years I’m very open to exploring different things.
I first came across longtermism and 80,000 hours through Ali Abdaal’s YouTube channel. Lately I’ve been reading many articles on 80,000 hours (I also applied for coaching), and from the links to this forum it looks like you have lots of great food for thought over here. I’m very excited to learn more about EA and eventually, when I feel more confident, join the discussion.
Thank you so much! I didn’t do most of the research myself, though—I drew upon the existing intro post for most of the content and structure as well.
