I got hired by GWWC to make YouTube videos after [AI in Context](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwicfou4Ewu-koikmga-bEg) did such a kickass job.\n\nMy channel is using that same cinematic, high-production value beauty to talk about everything in the EA universe that isn't AI.\n\n[My first video is out now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJYfSfh7eWs). It's about an obscure and unknown World Health Organization Meeting in 1955 that helped shape the conditions that have left up to 40 million people dead of malaria in sub-saharan Africa.\n\nI think it's pretty dope. I hope you do too. **What you can do **\n\nWatch it, subscribe to it, share it, do anything to help us reach more people. I made this channel to appeal to people who have never heard of EA. I want to be people's first introduction to the principles of EA and effective giving, so the more people that this reaches the better.\n\n**Feedback? **\n\nIf you have thoughts, let me know!
