#ICYMI: Dr. Andrew Siemion received the Drake Award Thursday night. Ahead of the awards reception, communications specialist Beth Johnson sat down at the SETI Institute offices and talked with him about his career so far, receiving the Drake Award, and his vision for the future of SETI research.
This week on #SETILive, communications specialist Beth Johnson chatted with Dr. Tom Esposito, SETI researcher and Lead of the Unistellar Cosmic Cataclysms program, about the impending nova of T Coronae Borealis and the scientific efforts to catch it!
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified an Earth-sized planet closer and younger than any previously known. During this week's #SETILive, communications specialist Beth Johnson spoke with lead authors Melinda Soares-Furtado and Benjamin Capistrant about this amazing discovery and the implications for planetary formation studies.
Watch communications specialist Beth Johnson in a conversation with director Nathaniel Kahn about his new IMAX documentary "Deep Sky", NASA's Webb Space Telescope, the filmmaking process, and how we share science with the world.
Last month Skeptic Magazine claimed to definitively debunk "Havana Syndrome" as mass hysteria. Several days later, journalists dropped a massive investigation claiming evidence that Russian agents are behind actual attacks on US agents. Who's right? #ICYMIhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/did-skeptics-102468903
I rode the new train from #Quebec City to #Montreal on Saturday—and I liked what I saw!
Here's hoping the new Siemens Venture trainsets on @via_rail are a taste of a faster, smoother (and one day electric) future for Canada's passenger rail.

When a neutron star meets an unusual black hole: Shortly after the start of the fourth observing run, the @LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA collaborations detected a remarkable gravitational-wave signal.
Our press release from Friday evening (local time) on the first publication from the fourth observing run of the international gravitational-wave detector network.
Doctoral student Björn S. Konrad from ETH Zurich joined senior planetary astronomer Franck Marchis for an engaging SETI Live on how they used remote sensing data to determine that Earth was habitable, as seen from a distance, and what the results mean for the search for life beyond Earth.
Check out our live discussion between senior planetary astronomer Franck Marchis and planetary scientist Beth Johnson as they delved into the thrilling search for life on Saturn's icy moon, Enceladus, including the ability to find evidence of life in a single grain of ice!

Schönes Oster-WE!
#ICYMI: A recent #EHT image reveals strong magnetic fields spiraling from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our galaxy’s center. These fields resemble those around the M87 galaxy’s black hole, suggesting commonality among black holes. A hidden jet in Sagittarius A* is also hinted at.
#ICYMI: After six months at the bargaining table, about 200 food service workers at Vancouver’s airport have voted to take strike action if their demands for pay increases in a first contract are not met. @brish_ti reports.
More in my op-ed in this weekend's Globe and Mail about how #Montreal's Transit App (along with other planning apps) is a game-changer for bus/subway/tram riders.
