Connecting science, policy, and society to prepare for the discovery of life beyond Earth.

The project includes cases such as exoplanet #K218b, phosphine on #Venus, Tabby's Star, #Oumuamua, and #3IATLAS. Each video is currently being coded in terms of risk and benefit narratives, sources, science actors and evaluations, and frames of (un)certainty.

The group is using computational methods to analyze thousands of user comments on public videos to investigate reactions to discovery in terms of sentiment and other aspects.

We (The Hub) have made it as part of an exhibit at the Natural History Museum "Could Life Exist Beyond Earth" - exhibition display just seen by one of my colleagues at the SETI Post-Detection Hub . The word is spreading. 👽
