I am collaborating with David Broockman of Stanford GSB and a large activist group to test whether building relationships with others invested in a cause can inspire people to take action.

Friday, August 7, 2015. Eva Vivalt Did Not Show QALYs/$ of Interventions Follow a Gaussian Curve. Epistemic status: I have zero statistics background, but damned if I won’t give this a shot anyway.). In a recent blog post. Robin Hanson said Eva Vivalt's data. Suppose the following three interventions had identical effect sizes: feeding people carrots, handing out chess strategy manuals, and deworming. That’s much better!

Development research and impact evaluation. How the Humble Sunflower Holds the Key to More Efficient Solar Power. January 26, 2012. Regular readers are well aware of concentrating solar power (CSP), the growing technology which uses the sun’s energy to heat fluid (not unlike a steam engine) rather than using photovoltaic cells to convert it directly to electricity.
