The speciesism scale that was recently published by an EA psychologist might be useful for this purpose.

Ha, cool, you were also involved in the Sentience Institute study about attitudes towards US farm animals that probably also contains useful methodology in this direction.

On your grants page (https://www.effectivealtruism.org/grants/) it still says you consider funding education, has this changed again?

Thank you for this!

I wonder if EAAs might think that the main effect of their animal advocacy is not necessarily the immediate meat consumption change, but more the longer term moral circle expansion. For example Jacy Reese from the Sentience Institute recently argued in this direction. If so, it might be more interesting to test for the level of speciesism or level of empathy towards animals before and after those interventions. I'd guess that decreasing speciesism is easier than causing a change in consumption habits, so for moral circle expansion purposes those results could be encouraging, correct?

Is it possible to switch to remote work (in my case in Europe) after working from office in SF e.g. for one year?
