The Most Efficient Way to Save a Life: Malaria Nets – The Atlantic – Interesting article about applying SCIENCE to find out where your charitable donation can have the greatest effect on the world. It’s also eye-opening to play with the linked “How Rich Am I?” calculator, which tells you exactly how well off you are compared to the rest of the world. (And if you’re reading this, you’re pretty damn well off.) I was inspired to donate some money to the Against Malaria Foundation, and I’m excited to see where the mozzie nets we funded end up!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
