Hello! I'm Toby. I'm a Content Strategist at CEA. I work with the Online Team to make sure the Forum is a great place to discuss doing the most good we can. You'll see me posting a lot, authoring the EA Newsletter and curating Forum Digests, making moderator comments and decisions, and more.
Before working at CEA, I studied Philosophy at the University of Warwick, and worked for a couple of years on a range of writing and editing projects within the EA space. Recently I helped run the Amplify Creative Grants program, to encourage more impactful podcasting and YouTube projects. You can find a bit of my own creative output on my blog, and my podcast feed.
Reach out to me if you're worried about your first post, want to double check Forum norms, or are confused or curious about anything relating to the EA Forum.

I'm curating this post. It's a very interesting and comprehensive look at risks from bioterrorism, covering some aspects I'd never heard of, for example: agricultural bioterrorism, and Aum Shinrikyo's bumbling errors.
I've admired @Abhishaike's work on their substack for a while (check out their cool short stories in substack notes), so I was excited to see them posting something so valuable here. Cheers!
Thanks for your contributions to the discussion @Hannah McKay🔸 , @Jo_🔸 , @Lee Wall , and @Alistair Stewart!
I have to head off at 7, but you are welcome to keep commenting, as is anyone else who sees this comment.
If you had to allocate a marginal $500,000, would you put it towards animal-specific alignment work (like the ideas in this list) or general alignment work?
Welcome Amy! Is there anywhere we can see some of your cartoons?
I'm Toby from the Forum team, let me know if you have any questions about EA or the Forum.
