My primary interests are in immunology, genetics, and biosecurity. I am a huge fan of doodling, hiking, and travelling. Oh, and dogs are superior to most other things in this universe. BA in Molecular & Cell Biology from UC Berkeley. Previously ran the UC Berkeley Effective Altruism Group

Hi!
We will update our website soon. We have two small scale projects that we are running in collaboration with the Oxford Biosecurity Group. You can check out projects #2 and #3 here.
Let me know if this helps.
Oxford Biosecurity Group: Applications Open and 2023 Retrospective
Hi! @Tessa might have time to write up the alternative model. I don’t want to put pressure on them to do so. However, the only thing I can share is:
Hear about it
Learning to decide whether you’re interested
Starting to generate your own ideas/opinions
Starting to contribute
Making contributions in a more defined area
I appreciate your feedback! Glad you found it helpful.
Wonderful to hear that!
On-Ramps Into Biosecurity—A Model
Hi! I am the “third” co-founder in this scenario. Happy to DM about why this particular choice was made and why it made sense for this team.
Introducing ARMoR—A CE Incubated Charity Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance
This is a great report! Adding it to my to-do list! If I have more questions how would you prefer me to contact you? Feel free to reply with a DM.
Could you link the prediction markets for this if you create them? Thanks in advance!
Thank you for this post! Very excited to have this report on hand! I plan to go through it in more depth and leave some more nuanced feedback. I want to add a note that I would also be interested in seeing the rough cost-effectiveness estimates as @JoshuaBlake has mentioned.
Appreciate it, I hope some people engage with it.
This was pretty much my goal with this! Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you so much! I appreciate it :)
List of Short-Term (<15 hours) Biosecurity Projects to Test Your Fit
Workflows 2.0 New Version & Updates: projects > introductory fellowships
Thank you for this really helpful tip!
That depends on your primary interest in biosecurity. If it is more policy-oriented then maybe the Johns Hopkins or the BWC ones. If you are more interested in epidemiology then maybe the Pandora Report? If you are more interested in technological developments then newsletters 13-15 might be a better fit. These are just loose suggestions.
Of course! Happy to help :)
Wasn’t aware of this list! Cool
