SETI Institute
Our mission is to lead humanity’s quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge.
- Check out the upcoming #SETILive schedule! We have interviews on a chemical cookbook for finding life on other worlds, an update on our LaserSETI program, and a possible explanation for why Titan is missing the river deltas we expected to see. 🧪 🔭 👩🔬
- Proposed cuts to the #NASA budget are the largest in the agency’s history. If approved, major programs to study exoplanets and to bring samples back from Mars would be cancelled. We look at “NASA Under the Axe” on @bipisci.bsky.social 🧪 🔭 Listen here: bigpicturescience.org/episodes/nas...
