link roundup

• The Centre for British Progress launched today. I’m so excited about this - anyone who has talked to me, like, ever has heard me talk about how much the UK needs growth, and David and Julia have put together a great team for actionable ways to get Britain growing again. Truly the best kind of policy entrepreneurs.

  • (I am also a fellow at CBP, so watch this space for something from me as well!)

• The Big if True Science (BiTS) Accelerator launched this week. This is a program for ambitious scientists and engineers who want to start coordinated research programs, lead by Joshua Elliot and Jean-Paul Chretien. I may be biased here, but they’re both incredible to work with and I highly recommend the program.

  • I’ll link here when applications go live, but more info is available here.

• Works in Progress has a list of pieces they’d like to commission. Someday I’ll sit down and write a “why I am skeptical on (most) SEZs” piece…

• Asterisk Magazine has an interview with Todd Moss and Katie Auth on the future of American aid.

• Lee Crawfurd has a roundup of papers from CSAE.

• Germany may revive up to six nuclear power plants!
