I have received funding from the LTFF and the SFF and am also doing work for an EA-adjacent organization.
My EA journey started in 2007 as I considered switching from a Wall Street career to instead help tackle climate change by making wind energy cheaper – unfortunately, the University of Pennsylvania did not have an EA chapter back then! A few years later, I started having doubts whether helping to build one wind farm at a time was the best use of my time. After reading a few books on philosophy and psychology, I decided that moral circle expansion was neglected but important and donated a few thousand sterling pounds of my modest income to a somewhat evidence-based organisation. Serendipitously, my boss stumbled upon EA in a thread on Stack Exchange around 2014 and sent me a link. After reading up on EA, I then pursued E2G with my modest income, donating ~USD35k to AMF. I have done some limited volunteering for building the EA community here in Stockholm, Sweden. Additionally, I set up and was an admin of the ~1k member EA system change Facebook group (apologies for not having time to make more of it!). Lastly, (and I am leaving out a lot of smaller stuff like giving career guidance, etc.) I have coordinated with other people interested in doing EA community building in UWC high schools and have even run a couple of EA events at these schools.
Btw Anam, with sample size exactly equal to 1 I wanted to let you know that your suggestions might have made a world of difference. Moreover, I think experimenting within safe limits with supplements might not be a bad idea. While my blood tests show I am not deficient in iron, I feel much better since exactly 1 week since starting iron supplements. Perhaps optimal iron intake is individual and/or there are energy boost gains to be had at increments some, or perhaps even all the way from the deficiency criteria all the way up to upper limits? I also include a gram of vit c per day along with my iron supplement and also try to keep this away from caffeine intake.
