Thanks Tomasz. Here is a message you can forward:



Dear all,

Here is a quick introduction to the Global Catastrophic Risk Institute
(GCRI), of which I am Co-Founder and Executive Director. Please forward
this message to others who may be interested.

GCRI was founded about one year ago to conduct original research, build
professional networks, and raise awareness about the major global
catastrophic risks that humanity faces. Global catastrophic risks are risks
of events that would significantly harm human civilization or even cause
human extinction. Some major risks include nuclear war, pandemics, climate
change, and artificial intelligence. Many individuals and organizations
work on specific risks. GCRI's role is to look at the big picture,
including which risks are most important and which interventions are most
effective. GCRI's role is also to help bring together the many individuals
and organizations who can contribute.

For more information, please see our website: http://gcrinstitute.org

For people who work on global catastrophic risk, or who would like to:
http://gcrinstitute.org/get-involved

We also have a monthly email newsletter - sign up here:

And, some social media:

https://twitter.com/GCRInstitute
http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Global-Catastrophic-Risk-Institute-4654082

For those interested in emerging technologies, we currently have a
crowdfunding campaign 'Preventing Technological Disaster Through
International Treaties':
http://www.indiegogo.com/emergingtechnologies/x/1721038

Thank you for your interest, and please let me know if you have any
questions.

Sincerely,
 Seth Baum
