Guzey September/October 2021 updates
Hi everyone,
Personal updates
-
My O1 extraordinary ability visa was approved by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, and I moved to Boston 3 weeks ago, becoming New Science’s Executive Director.
-
I will be speaking at Foresight Institute’s Foresight Vision Weekend 2021 in San Francisco. The event will take place on December 4-5 and is one of the most exciting conferences happening all year - I strongly recommend attending. Say hi if you see me there.
New writing
New Science
- Lots of updates. Raised >$200k, starting to publish things and to fund researchers, etc. See here. We are continuing to hire and you should submit an application even if none of the listed roles fit exactly what you're thinking about doing. First hire was via a general application and ended up with a role that I would've never thought of without talking to them.

Miscellaneous
-
Rewatched Mr. Nobody and Across the Universe, each for like 10th time. You can guess how much I recommend them.

HIV Life Cycle - narrated - incredible video
Obvious enough, but most of the difficulty in life comes from keeping obvious observations in your head long enough to act on them
