Excited to see pull mechanisms featured in @scientificdiscovery.dev's recent WIP article. Her framing is one we use ourselves: the binding constraint often isn't science, but incentives.

BIG NEW piece by me. A few years ago, if you asked me to summarize my entire worldview in one article, I would’ve said it was too broad and too difficult. But this year, I decided to do it.

Can $50 billion a year in new philanthropy be spent well? We think so! @rglenner.bsky.social and I suggest institutions that could move money at that scale toward cost-effective programs.

The AI boom could generate $37B–$100B in annual philanthropy. How can it be spent effectively? In the first blog of a new CGD series, @rglenner.bsky.social and @leahrosenzweig.bsky.social examine large-scale implementers, intermediaries, and quick wins. www.cgdev.org/blog/we-can-...

A proposed advance market commitment could save newborn lives. This new MSA and @cgdev.org report sets out the plan to accelerate rapid diagnostics for neonatal sepsis. Now, the team is raising the $60M💰 needed to launch it.

Why Expertise Matters: Building the Coalition to Launch Our Neonatal Sepsis AMC

This blog post is the third in a series introducing a new working group convened by CGD and the Market Shaping Accelerator (MSA) on developing an advance market commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic test for neonatal sepsis in low- and middle-income countries.

An Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for neonatal sepsis diagnostics could save newborn lives and curb antibiotic resistance. But how should such an AMC actually work? And how will we get it off the ground? 🧵

A rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis could save newborn lives and reduce antibiotic resistance - but no such test exists yet. What’s blocking progress? 🧵

In collaboration with @CGDev, we’re establishing a working group to design an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for a rapid diagnostic for neonatal sepsis—a devastating and neglected cause of child mortality. Here’s why this is our focus. 🧵👇

Neonatal sepsis kills ~500k newborns every year, yet fast and accurate diagnostics remain unavailable. Our new 3-post series with @CGDev unpacks the problem—and shows how an Advance Market Commitment (AMC) could unlock life-saving innovation. 🧵👇

Last month, HHS announced a major push for universal flu and coronavirus vaccines, a promising step toward improved immunity to two diseases that defy conventional vaccines. But the plan has a key flaw: It bets everything on one technological platform. 👇
