Poverty, mental health, social systems, economics and things that start "okay this sounds really boring but..."
I maintain a blog (acesounderglass.com) on science, altruism, and video games. Featured 1000+ word posts include "The behavioral ecology of how to train your dragon" and "The nicest things I ever said about open offices also I compare them to Azkaban." I'm working on a long series on Tostan.org and would potentially be interested in collaborators, or people who just want to hear why I believe in them.
I work for Wave.com, making it cheap to send money to and within Africa. My ultimate goal for us is to do for the entire world what MPESA did for Kenya- enable businesses to make a profit providing services the bottom billion need.
