Hi all, mechanical + electrical engineering undergraduate who enjoys research and hopes to pursue a career in it. While I’m not especially interested in the main EA cause areas (AI safety, biosecurity, cybersecurity, etc.), I’d still like my research to have as much impact as possible.
Does anyone know of any websites that compile lists of neglected scientific problems beyond those discussed by 80,000 Hours? Not necessarily looking for problems ranked by overall importance, just collections of underexplored problems where additional work could have (somewhat) decent marginal value.
If anybody has any insights, would really appreciate it.
