I really love the work that Giving Green is doing to rigorously identify the most impactful climate orgs to give to. If you want to donate to fight climate change, their latest recommendations look great!

I was wondering why I saw specialist doctors so much faster in the US than the UK and ended up writing a blog post on it. Turns out the US has 2x more neurologists, 5x more MRIs and 10x more PET scanners per capita than the UK. And half the demand. roryfenton.com/2022/01/30/why…

Elon Musk Liv Boeree Americans overwhelmingly favor improving conditions for farm animals, and technology holds the key to doing this while keeping food affordable and abundant. E.g. in-ovo sexing can eliminate the need to kill 6b chicks/ yr in the egg industry!
