#ICYMI, last week's fabulous guest blog by Violet Grey takes apart #HarrisonButker's terrible commencement speech, and explains why his take is more eerily reminiscent of The Stepford Wives than of the Gospel she loves.
In this week's #SETILive, Beth Johnson chatted with Dr. Bonnie Teece about her initial analysis of microbial traps left on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean near Axial Seamount and what they could mean for our search for life beyond Earth, especially involving ocean worlds like Europa and Enceladus.
#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.

Even if the promised future doesn’t come to be, some future inevitably does. What kind of future happens in the aftermath of scams?" via #LanaSwartz
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.

Funny how they cut to white basically asking you to imagine the worst all in a pathetic attempt of a gotcha moment, as if nobody ever thought of this. When in reality this exact scenario is a design requirement and engineers do simulations on this exact scenario to make sure the containment building can survive a jet passenger crashing into it.
@greenpeace makes me sick with how dishonest they are.
