Great to have so much interaction from the thread I did yesterday about #GameTheory strategies for the detection of #ExtraTerrestialIntelligence.

Maybe every Friday should be #AlienFriday!

Thought it'd be useful to get to know the views of people tuning into these posts. So, below, a thread of 7 polls of your views on #SETI.

They'll stay up for a week. If you'd like them to have a statistical rigor that #ProfJohnCurtis would be proud of then please #boost to others.

So, it's time to talk about #aliens. Is the search for #intelligent #life just an impossible search for a microscopic pin within a mountain-sized haystack? Or is there a way to try and be smart about how we search? A thread about some work I've been involved with that addresses this question... (1/n) If you enjoy the thread, and you think others may do too, then please #boost it!

Since I am new to #mastodon I'm going to do some threads about some #work I'm involved with. My areas or #research focus on #exoplanet #detection using the #microlensing technique, probing exoplanet #atmospheres using #TransmissionSpectroscopy, and also #GameTheory based approaches to #SETI - the Search for #ExtraTerrestialIntelligence.

Today I'll start with a 🧡 exoplanet detection with microlensing... (1/n)
