I run safely.bio, a biosecurity startup building know-your-customer (KYC) software for the biotech industry. Previously, I worked as a contractor for Sentinel Bio alongside the former White House NSC Director for Biodefense to launch the BioTrust proposal. Before safely.bio, I ran a software agency serving biosecurity, AI safety, and EA orgs, including contract work for Sentinel Bio. Earlier, ran operations for a world-leading AI safety lab and led data analytics work that saved £30mn in energy costs across London buildings. Engineering background (Cambridge, École Centrale).

Hey, great to see you working on this. Love the way you've expanded the format to asking 10 questions, and your discussion is really clear to follow. As more people turn to LLMs to settle health questions like this, it's clearly in important topic. 

Can you expand on the 'manufactured uncertainty' on harm reduction you saw? How do you expect this to change in the future?

Hey, how interesting. It sounds like you have notes for how to run a smaller version of this, but are looking for tips on how to adapt this for Mexico.

If I saw your notes I might have some suggestions on what you could adapt
