So looking forward to the exhibition Sensing Signals at the iconic Radio Kootwijk in the Netherlands on Saturday 14 October! I am giving a talk about Mare Incognito and A Sign in Space. All welcome! Photos courtesy of Klankworm.

Here's @TheAtlantic article I wrote on what kinds of aliens we 'll find first: dumb life (biosignatures) or smart life (technosignatures).

The article was based on a research paper our NASA research group published.

[Network for Life Detection (NfoLD) @LifeDetection]

A fantastic article just dropped on the amazing work NfoLD and @nexssinfo did on creating a Standards of Evidence for Life Detection, and why it is important. It's such an important topic, and I highly recommend checking it out.

this is today! i'm going to talk about access, exclusion, and why researching new space sometimes feels like working the gossip pages of a tabloid rag

[Adam Frank @AdamFrank4]

I just read the Madhusushan et al paper on K2 18b. I thought it was well done and they were honest about the DMS (very low confidence). But it’s the possibility that’s open with these habitable Hycean water worlds that could be exciting…

This headline, despite reflecting the scientists' enthusiasm is unfortunate in its vast oversimplification. Luckily we're organizing a special workshop in 2024 on communicating discoveries in the search for life (https://t.co/JBjJ16ytuM) @NASAAstrobio

[NASA Webb Telescope @NASAWebb]

The Webb telescope has detected carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18 b, a potentially habitable world over 8 times bigger than Earth. Webb’s data suggests the planet might be covered in ocean, with a hydrogen-rich atmosphere: https://t.co/qN1SqCfFt1

@LaserSeti If there’s anything you can do to help the wonderful people of Maui recover, now or in the future, I hope you’ll act on that opportunity. The best resource I could find on ways to help was here: https://t.co/Xglwe0zaGT

[Adam Frank @AdamFrank4]

What happens if we do make a detection of alien life? What are scientists supposed to do?

Nice update. "Fewer than ∼0.014% of stars within 100 pc host a transmitter that is detectable in our search."
