I'm joining the OpenAI Foundation to lead the Life Sciences & Curing Diseases program. We're starting with three areas of grantmaking: * AI for Alzheimer's * Public Data for Health * Accelerating Progress on High-Mortality and High-Burden Diseases Time to get to work!

that feeling when you’re at a bar and just know you’re watching a work function hit the point of no return

.@coeff_giving directed over $1b in 2025, the most in our history. I wrote a more personal annual letter this year, focusing on what a decade of grantmaking has taught me, how I'm thinking about AI, and how we're grappling with giving at this scale. 🧵

Cool story about snakebite in the @nytimes — high burden and very limited work on it overall. Finding more universal antivenin and/or drugs that help slow or limit venom effects is high return and something @coeff_giving is working on (gift link in next post)

Some news: Open Philanthropy is now Coefficient Giving! Our mission is unchanged but the new name reflects our growing work with other donors to multiply the impact of their giving. 🧵 on our work to make philanthropy a more efficient "market" and plans going forward:

In rich countries, people spend less than 10% of their money on food. In poor countries, people spend more than 50% of their money on food.

New in the NYT: pesticides like paraquat cause >100k deaths to suicide per year, and means restriction works - following bans in China, their pesticide suicide rate fell ~60%. Props to @jsnwden and @GiveWell for their early work here; @open_phil is proud to continue it.

Cool to see Cari and Dustin highlighted in TIME100 Philanthropy today. They don't toot their own horns much, but they've given over $4b so far - I believe they're the youngest billionaires to have given such a high proportion of their wealth away.

Big announcement today from @billgates that he'll sunset his foundation in 20 years. I think he and the Gates Foundation get more credit than any other individual or foundation for the massive reduction in child mortality over the last 25yrs - very excited to see their final 20!

TB is one of the deadliest infectious diseases on earth –killing 1 million+ every year. @open_phil has long supported TB vaccine research, including Dr. Sarah Fortune's. This week, we were able to step in on 24 hrs notice to ensure her work continues >> bostonglobe.com/2025/04/18/bus…

New post about a few "big if true" health interventions that might be much more important than we think. They’re strange, they’re striking - and they need more research.
