🚨🚨Today we begin the search for @ARIA_research's next CEO It's not often you get to hire for a role that you believe is not only someone's dream job, but genuinely one of the highest impact opportunities in the world... but this is it.. 🧵🧵

Somehow I missed this terrific conversation with @KumarAGarg, quietly one of the highest impact science philanthropy catalysts on the planet. (Nice one @jordanschnyc!) Proud to be working with Kumar & team at ARIA activation partner @RenPhil21 🧬🚀

My favorite part - near the end - was when we brainstormed how the hypothetical @jordanschnyc Fund could be structured and what it would work on.

Just Published: A look inside @ARIA_research, the UK's Bet to Build Scientific Revolutions. We sent @eric_is_weird, author of the popular metascience blog "FreakTakes," to interview @ilangur, CEO of ARIA. Check it out at the link below.

"I think about our programmes as funding a constellation of teams that can lead to massively transformative outcomes at the intersection of quality of life and economic growth — not just for the UK, but for the world." Check out @ilangur's interview with @eric_is_weird. ↓

Thanks @eric_is_weird for such a fun deep dive conversation on the principles and structure of @ARIA_research, and the chance to geek out on metascience and some history -- and TY to @AsimovPress for sparking the idea!
