Will Henshall is a science and technology reporter who was placed at *[[Time]]* from 2023 to 2024 through the fellowship of the [[Tarbell Center for AI Journalism]], and who joined Coefficient Giving, the renamed [[Open Philanthropy]], as a program officer for AI governance and policy in July 2024.[^1][^2]

### Career

Tarbell's fellow page describes him as a science and technology reporter based in [[New York City]] who holds a master's degree in chemistry from the [[University of Oxford]] and a master's in public policy from [[Harvard University|Harvard]]'s [[John F. Kennedy School of Government]], and who had worked as a management consultant and policy researcher.[^1] Coefficient Giving's team page gives the same degrees, and records that before joining in July 2024 he had worked as an editorial fellow at *Time* and as an associate consultant at [[Bain & Company]].[^2]

Tarbell's ethics policy states that as of 2025 "the majority of our funding originates with a single funder, Coefficient Giving (formerly known as Open Philanthropy)." Open Philanthropy recommended 575,000 dollars in September 2023 for the Tarbell Fellowship, then run under the fiscal sponsor [[Training for Good]], and 816,000 dollars to the Tarbell Center in November 2024.[^3][^4][^5]
