created: ; modified:About
I’m a researcher with a background in Economics, Mathematics, and Cognitive Science. My biggest intellectual influences are Scott Alexander and Gwern.
Right now, I think about meta-science, biology, and philanthropy. My long-term goal is to make the future humane, aesthetic, and to make it happen faster.
If you’re reading this and you do anything biology-related at all, I would love to talk to you and would especially appreciate you getting in touch.
