Buck spent the first half of 2014 in San Francisco, spending a lot of time with the Effective Altruism community there. He learned a lot from this experience. In his talk, he'll provide an introduction to effective altruism, its history and its major cause areas, the biggest things that are happening in it at the moment, and the coolest things which are coming up for the movement in the future.

As always, vegan snacks will be provided.
