Our latest #SETILive #podcast examines a search for technosignatures in the galactic center that may have revealed the first pulsar to be found there. As Welch Postdoctoral Fellow Karen Perez explains, it's an exciting and possibly Nobel-worthy discovery, if confirmed! Listen to the full episode: https://feeds.libsyn.com/462636/rss
Meet Karen Perez, the Welch Postdoctoral Fellow here at the SETI Institute, as she chats with Beth during this week's #SETILive. Karen is the lead author on a paper about a possible pulsar detected near our galactic center, a place we expect to find them, but really haven't!

Our latest #SETILive #podcast examines the #ArtemisII mission! One of the places the team will observe during their lunar pass is Shackleton Crater at the lunar south pole. NASA Goddard scientist Caitlin Ahrens discusses the possibilities for understanding the crater's ice. Listen to the full episode: https://feeds.libsyn.com/462636/rss
In this week's #SETILive, Simon chatted with Caitlin Ahrens from NASA Goddard about the upcoming (and now delayed) #ArtemisII mission and the two experiments researching the effects of radiation on astronauts. Watch the full interview: https://youtube.com/live/fEKIYiK4AwA
Next #SETILive: Back to the Moon
TODAY, 2 February, 1:00 pm PST / 4:00 pm EST
Humanity is heading back to the Moon—and #ArtemisII is the mission that makes it real.
In today's SETI Live, host Simon Steel is joined by Dr. Caitlin Ahrens, assistant research scientist at NASA Goddard, to explore how Artemis II will prepare the way for future astronaut missions.

Next #SETILive: Life After Ice
TODAY, Jan 29 | 12:00 PM
A recently published study describes the revival of a microscopic worm preserved in permafrost for approximately 46,000 years, offering new insights into cryptobiosis, stress-resistant genetics, and long-term survival strategies.
Simon Steel is joined by Philipp Schiffer to discuss the science behind this remarkable discovery and its implications for evolutionary biology, cryopreservation, and astrobiology.
