"the secret scientists don't want you to know!!" Dude have you ever met a single scientist? My scientist friends are desperate for me to know about the changing mating habits of Brown marmorated stink bugs. They're screaming at the top of their lungs to tell you EVERYTHING.
@KylePlantEmoji - Our dinner and party gatherings tend to have a high portion of science types - that's a side effect of living near a university that is trying to turn itself into "The Caltech of Northern California" - recently the hottest topics seem to be in the area of astrobiology.
@karlauerbach @KylePlantEmoji They should be looking at Earth's biology since its rapidly changing. Just look at the ancient microbes that can awaken as the #permafrost thaws.

@JackieWolf @KylePlantEmoji - I suspect a lot more people are busy looking at life on earth rather than looking for life not on earth.

But think of the impact on things like religion should we find signs of life elsewhere. Perhaps it could move us off of our desperate attachment to primitive mythology.

@karlauerbach @KylePlantEmoji While I appreciate some of the ethic, I think religion i s used as a method of control by all too many know nothing men in power.
