Elizabeth Van Nostrand is an independent researcher and writer who has spent more than a decade publishing evidence-driven investigations on her blog Aceso Under Glass. Trained as a behavioral biologist and later a programmer, her work includes epistemic spot checks of popular books, studies of how scientific fields develop their paradigms, and early, widely read analysis of Covid and H5N1.
Her research has been funded by the Long-Term Future Fund, the Survival and Flourishing Fund, and Lightspeed Grants. Her recent writing examines what went wrong in effective altruism, and she co-hosts a podcast on effective altruism, integrity, and group intelligence.
