A free weekly series on the work that matters most.
Iris generates personalised briefings to help innovators stay up to date in their fields and amplify human progress. Inspired by a line in 80,000 Hours, we want to enable people doing important work. We’ve selected the biosecurity course at BlueDot Impact as our demo use case, and we’re publishing a free weekly series on its core topic.
Each week we publish “This week in biosecurity”, with a monthly roundup in place of the weekly briefing every fourth week. Every briefing stays available in the archive.
Use cases: Some of the people Iris helps today.
Iris is a bespoke service built around your profile, so it works for any topic you give it. Below are a few examples of people that can benefit from Iris.
Startups and small teams
Especially teams developing novel technologies who want to identify opportunities and understand their positioning. When you're building a world first, the value is in knowing your situation well enough to react immediately if someone else gets there too.
R&D and technical programme leaders
Track a whole portfolio of technical domains without reading everything yourself, and brief your team on what actually changed.
Medical experts and practitioners
Spend more time solving problems for patients and less time reading journals to stay current.
Academic researchers
Keep across a fast-moving literature and adjacent fields without it becoming a second job.
Governance and policy makers
Understand the technical and competitive landscape well enough to regulate and fund it well.
