Hello Everyone and welcome! Today I have Emily Grundy on the show today for this special 3-part series on Effective Altruism. After completing a Bachelor of Psychological Science at Deakin University, Emily is now undertaking Honours in Psychology at Melbourne University. Her research involves looking at morally exceptional individuals – those who go above and beyond the standards of "rightness" and who is standing at the forefront of moral progress. In particular, she is investigating the personality characteristics of individuals who engage in Effective Altruism – a philosophy and social movement which emphasises utilising evidence and reason when determining how to do the best that one can. Outside of her research, Emily is also involved in The Life You Can Save Melbourne chapter, a non-profit organisation encouraging people to give a proportion of their income to highly effective charities fighting extreme poverty.  I actually met Emily at a Halloween party of all things, where we got into a discussion about her studies. I was so impressed by her passion and knowledge on the subject that I knew I had to get her on the show... Because I believe that supporting not just yourself but other communities to thrive are an essential part of living a healthy, happy life... Enjoy x
