Figuring out our potentially wild future

I have an effective altruism background, and I’ve researched and written about existential risks, space governance, and pandemics — mostly while at Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute. I also co-host a podcast where I speak to experts on AI, law, biosecurity, and more. I’m excited to learn and write about new ideas that matter for making (sustainable) progress.

Two-wheeled dilettante

These days I can often be found reading, cycling the countryside around Oxford, and doing Brazilian jiu jitsu (or wrestling). I also enjoy finding new music and new houseplants, playing chess badly, and acquiring useless fun facts.
