What scientific methods can approach questions of future discovery?

Hub member and risk-communication scholar Andreas Schwarz and students at Ilmenau University of Technology are analyzing YouTube content about post-detection claims with data scientist Anamaria Berea (George Mason University) and the Hub at St Andrews.

🌍 How do you think the world would react if there was a confirmed discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence?

Would it spark global unity, scientific renaissance, or fear and skepticism? Would the impact last or slowly fade away? Would it change anything if the discovery was within our own Solar System?

Our new #SETI research hub at the University of St Andrews in #Scotland is receiving some really nice press.

"Will we ever get a message from E.T.? We don’t know...” Have a read for John Elliott’s thoughts on #PostDetection, #readiness & #research across disciplines:
