“AMA: Saloni Dattani” by Toby Tremlett🔹, salonium

Saloni will answer the questions in this AMA between 6-8pm BST on July 8th. Leave your questions as comments, and upvote other questions you’d like to see answered. If you’ve been around EA for a while, and you’re interested in global health, you’ve probably read Saloni Dattani before. Saloni writes about global health at Our World In Data and is a co-founder and editor of Works in Progress magazine. She's also recently started a podcast, Hard Drugs, with Jacob Trefethen. She also (somehow) finds time to write a great blog, Scientific Discovery. She's recently written on: The decline in cancer mortality, and how it's not all down to decline in smoking. How we calculate fertility rates, and why just calculating the total fertility rate leads us astray. And she delivered a talk at EA Global London on the data that shapes global health.Question ideas: For some question [...] --- First published: July 2nd, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/i2DtGATx9ZWRcKfAz/ama-saloni-dattani --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
