Many thanks to the organizers of this year's Breakthrough Discuss for inviting me to Oxford to speak about METI and serve with my esteemed colleagues on a panel discussing deliberate transmissions. Special thanks also to @ATJCagan for his delightful sketches of the presenters and panelists

Really pleased to find out that our paper "Rethinking the practice and rhetoric of planetary 'colonization' from an astrobioethics pespective" was the number 1 most-read article in September 2026 in the journal Earth Science, Systems and Society (and continually grateful that I get to work with such amazing co-authors!)
Check it out here (open-access!)

Presented on the Discovery & Futures Lab as well as on safety for scientists engaged in biosignature and technosignature research at the 2026 International Astronautical Congress in Antalya

I had a nice time presenting to the Deep Dive attendees of the b° futures festival in Bonn working in journalism (and media-adjacent areas) who selected to hear from me about AI, Aliens, and the Extraterrestrial Turn
