I was stoked to present and be represented on so many valuable SETI-related projects during the SETI and Society session at the 2024 meeting of the International Astronautical Congress in Italy. I am lucky to work with such excellent collaborators in the SETI community.

I had a sensational time at this year's meeting of the Society for Social and Conceptual Issues in Astrobiology in Kiruna, Sweden--complete with sightings of the aurora borealis and a trip to the Esrange Space Center. above photo credit: Evie Kendal
I'm over the moon (and several other planetary bodies, solar systems, and galaxies) to announce that I have been selected to join the wonderful group at the SETI Institute's Science Advisory Board
A fun trip across the Rhine river to the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus with my fellow AIA fellows for the yearly cultural tour with board members of the Academy of International Affairs-NRW
Such a great conference on technology and labor hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia at the University of Tokyo and organized by them as well as by the Center for Science and Thought at the University of Bonn above photo credit: Wakanyi Hoffman
Please check out this thoughtful and thought-provoking article by Robin George Andrews. This expertise-driven piece offers a nice snapshot of some of the current SETI debates. (N.B., I can't help but specify that a detected technological signal would not necessarily be an intentional signal meant for Earth, though it could be. Figuring out the intentions (or lack thereof!) behind a given technological signal will likely be one of the big epistemological puzzles we will need to tackle if SETI practitioners successfully detect alien technology.)
I'm delighted to be able to pursue new SETI research projects as an Affiliate of The SETI Institute!
A great meeting of the Conference on Technology, Knowledge, and Society in Valencia, Spain. I was proud to present on the work of our Desirable AI project with fellow research fellow Dr. Ana Ilievska!
I enjoyed so many important and thought-provoking discussions during the highly interdisciplinary and interactive NASA Communicating Discoveries in the Search for Life in the Universe Event. Many thanks to the organizers for this huge undertaking.
I had the privilege and pleasure of chatting with folks at BBC's The Inquiry about extraterrestrial ethics and the UK SETI Research Network's Post-Detection Hub in this podcast episode titled Are We Alone in the Universe?
