> I'd like to know if the article author really grew up to be a doctor or if he's now some activist in some charity instead.

He's a practicing doctor at Churchill Hospital in Oxford.

To the best of my knowledge, he continues to support 80,000 Hours.



It seems to me that he now more advocates

and that he has spent short time with 80,000 Hours. It seems he was really still a student as he wrote there. I hope he'll blog more about his experiences as he grows up.


Giving What We Can and 80k Hours are very closely connected organizations with different missions. They shared office space at Oxford University.
