### Newsletter

I am perhaps most well-known for my monthly forecasting _newsletter_. It can be found both [on Substack](https://forecasting.substack.com/) and [on the EA Forum](https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/s/HXtZvHqsKwtAYP6Y7). Besides its mothly issues, I've also written:

### Research

|

|

As part of my research at the [Quantified Uncertainty Research Institute](https://quantifieduncertainty.org/), and previously as an independent researcher, I have a few _in depth pieces_ on forecasting:
