How others can help me

  • Helping me test my fit for different paths and deciding on what opportunities to aim for and pursue after graduation (through informational one on ones about roles you've had or feedback on career plans)
  • Providing information about what sets of skills are in high demand to inform my upskilling and job hunt strategies
  • Giving Feedback on Mental health ideas. I'm working on a project to improve mental health and would love to iterate on feedback!

How I can help others

I can:

  • help people think strategically / backchain from their core values and goals to identify meaningful next steps and give feedback on existing plans or theories of change
  • share tailored resources and connections to help achieve goals, including mental health resources and tips
  • contribute cognitive science knowledge/perspective to projects
  • share insights/perspectives on community building (from limited experience co-founding a university group)

How do I find out who administers a specific channel and reach out to them? I noticed the office hours and 1 on 1 booking links don't work anymore.

Context: I have a few questions for the cause-mental-health creator or administrator.

HLI's 2023-4 research agenda

Do you think it would be worth doing some low-cost "advertising" of research ideas (/potential collaborations) presented in this agenda? For example, Effective Thesis recently launched a Research Opportunities Board, so some of these topics could be posted on there for students looking for high-impact research projects. (This could help with the resource/funding issue.)

Out of curiosity, roughly how many people are working on this agenda internally (at HLI) and externally (through collaborations)?
