I think you should write about yourself, your job, and your giving.

Now, I write web content for 80,000 Hours. Previously:

2022-2025: I worked in communications at Coefficient Giving.
2019-2021: I worked at CEA, on the Forum and other projects.
2016-18: Alongside non-EA gigs, I did piecemeal ops work for CEA and CFAR.
2014-15: I founded and ran Yale's student EA group.

Outside of EA, I play Magic: the Gathering on a semi-professional level and donate most of my winnings to charity (this amounts to ~$60K so far).

Outside of EA, I've been a tutor, a freelance writer, a tech support agent, and (very briefly) a music journalist. I blog, and keep a public list of my donations, at aarongertler.com.

Neil Dullaghan is a Senior Program Officer at the Effective Altruism Animal Welfare Fund, where he has worked as a part-time fund manager since 2022. In that role he sets the fund's grantmaking strategy and ensures systems are in place to execute it. He’s also the author of The Compassion Mandate: Remaking the European Union’s leadership on farmed animal welfare.

Previously, he worked at Rethink Priorities (2018-2025) in the animal welfare team as a Senior researcher and Senior research manager, with an expertise in European Union farmed animal policy.

He holds a PhD in Political & Social Science from the European University Institute, an MPhil in European Politics & Society from the University of Oxford and a BA in International Relations from Dublin City University.

He has volunteered for Charity Science Health & Animal Charity Evaluators, was a political data manager for WeVoteUSA while it participated in Fast Forward's accelerator for tech nonprofits, held numerous research assistant positions at the University of Oxford, and acted as Strategy Associate for a behavioural science think tank, The Decision Lab.

I ran the Forum for three years.

I think you should write about yourself, your job, and your giving.

7b:T4f0,

I'm a moderator for the EA Forum, and an AI Product Engineer for 80,000 Hours.

I ran the EA Forum team for 2 years, and was the original developer working on the EA Forum 2.0 for 5 years before that.

Prior to CEA, I was a data engineer at an aerospace startup. I got into EA through reading the entire archive of Slate Star Codex in 2015. I found EA naturally compelling, and donated to AMF, then GFI, before settling on my current cause prioritization of meta-EA, with AI x-risk as my object-level preference. I try to have a wholehearted approach to morality, rather than thinking of it as an obligation or opportunity. You see my LessWrong profile here.

In my personal life, I hang out in the Boston EA and Gaymer communities, enjoy houseplants, table tennis, and playing coop games with my partner, who has more karma than me.

7c:T887,

I'm a researcher at Forethought; before that, I ran the non-engineering side of the EA Forum (this platform), ran the EA Newsletter, and worked on some other content-related tasks at CEA. [More about the Forum/CEA Online job.]

Background

I finished my undergraduate studies with a double major in mathematics and comparative literature in 2021. I was a research fellow at Rethink Priorities in the summer of 2021 and was then hired by the Events Team at CEA. I later switched to the Online Team. In the past, I've also done some (math) research and worked at Canada/USA Mathcamp.
