As always, the folks at the PSETI Center put on an excellent symposium (and were wonderfully supportive of hybrid sessions!). I was fortunate enough not only to give a plenary talk on Sustainability Puzzles and the Extraterrestrial Turn, but also to contribute to an exciting and interactive breakout session on post-detection, as well as a panel on feminist ethics of outer space.

A couple of years ago, I started working with some planetary scientists/astrobiologists on an astrobioethics paper. It quickly turned into some of the most enjoyable work that I do. I'm immensely grateful to Michael L. Wong for spearheading this inspiring research, which now includes a published comment in Nature!
What fun presenting, listening, learning, LARPing, and laughing at the UK SETI Research Network Post-Detection Hub's in-person workshop in beautiful St. Andrews, Scotland
Many thanks to Stephen Gardiner and Mikko Puumala for inviting me to present at the Outer Space and Intergenerational Ethics workshop (and to serve on the corresponding roundtable panel) at the University of Washington, with generous support from the Simpson Center for the Humanities as well as the Program on Ethics and the Department of Philosophy. So great to see growing recognition of the importance of outer space ethics in philosophical spheres! Photos credit: Natalia Vásquez
Fantastic interdisciplinary work put forth by the participants and organizers of the conference "Exploring Otherness on Earth and Beyond: Bridging the Gap Between Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and the Humanities"
What a delight to connect with fellow space ethics folks and serve as a keynote speaker at The Open University's Contemporary Developments in Space Ethics conference. I wrapped up the conference with my presentation on Sustainability Puzzles and the Extraterrestrial Turn
I really enjoyed the questions and discussions I had with the Uni Bonn philosophy students who attended my Philo Lounge talk titled 'A Brief History and Moral Analysis of Astrobiological Signaling.' I love to see students' interest in the ethics of outer space.
So fortunate to be invited to present at the Winter Institute, an annual meeting organized by researchers at the University of Bonn, New York University, Australian National University, and, this year's wonderful hosts, the University of Tokyo. Our theme was 'Techne and the Human Sciences in the 21st Century'
Here's my video interview on some of my work as Fellow in the Outer Space Affairs cohort at the Academy of International Affairs NRW
