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!

@ianmaher2011 it's the one that looks like the retweet button on Twitter (or i suppose i should say the #BirdSite as they call it here 😊) There's no "algorithm" on mastodon and favouriting a post (or "toot") does not put into the timeline of your followers. So the way to circulate toots to others is to boost them.
