Under Development

Hi, I’m Deena! I’m a researcher, grantmaker, and journalist focused on global health, economic development, and scientific and technological progress.

I write about things like:

• The Rwandan government’s efforts to degas the potentially-deadly Lake Kivu

• How a philosopher’s ‘experience machine’ thought experiment can shed light on how we interact with technology

• Why we have a propensity to search for silver linings
