We hope you enjoy the rest of this newsletter, which covers our upcoming online events, the latest from the effective altruism community, and news and updates about relevant cause areas.

5 years ago today I took the @givingwhatwecan pledge to donate 10% of my income to the world's most effective charities (via @GiveWell @EA_Aus). I'm both proud and grateful that I've been able to do my bit for the world. It's been awesome: 1,826 days without a single regret.
