I run EA Anywhere, a virtual group for people who don't have local groups nearby.
I co-founded EA Russia and have been involved in community building for the last three years. I contributed to several EA organizations as a research intern, created a Youtube channel with EA-related videos, and studied the MIT Micromasters program on global health and development policy.
I'd be happy to chat about EA or introduce you to the EA Anywhere group:
I'm a big fan of Gapminder and their quizzes on global development. Good to see more content like that. I even scheduled an event at EA Anywhere based on your quiz. Thanks for putting it all together!
Update: all the talks from the conference are now available in this playlist.
Hi Mischi, all the talks, workshops, and fireside chats will be available on CEA's YouTube channel next week.
You should have received the Swapcard invite by now. If not, please reach out to virtual@eaglobalx.org
We process registrations manually, so once you signed up for the conference there is a small delay before you get the Swapcard link.
Thanks for pointing this out, Andy! I've updated the post. The application deadline is October 19th.
The deadline is 8:00 UTC on 19 October.
(I added this to the event description)
Thanks, Kirsten! We will announce a tentative agenda in 2-3 weeks.
Thanks for sharing the review, Ozy. I picked the movie for a watch party and everyone loved it! It touches on so many topics relevant to EA, definitely worth watching. And it aged really well, some scenes are very sweet and touching.
Recently someone asked me to comment on an article "Want to hurt Putin? Back a brain drain from Russia". It's a slightly edited version of my response.
From a personal perspective, I would be happy to support refugee quotas or immigration quotas for Russian in Europe or the US. One of the EAs from Russia even wrote a post on that. Right now, it's even more challenging to get a visa to Europe if you have a Russian passport than before the war. Baltic states stopped issuing tourist visas for Russian, and Norway stopped issuing residential visas. I've been waiting for a UK visa for two months to attend EA Global and didn't get it, probably due to rising concerns about issuing visas to Russian citizens. I'm not mentioning that it's problematic even to pay a visa fee right now, because Visa/Mastercard stopped working in Russia.
But from a big-picture perspective, I don't think the goals described in the article would be met by this kind of action:
We have rescheduled the event from November 13 to December 4th because one of the organizers is sick, sorry for the inconvenience.
In the meantime, you can explore quizzes on the most common misconceptions via Gapminder.
