Just putting this on folks' radar: Carol Cleland and I have a chapter about anomalies and astrobiology in this forthcoming book, available July 16, 2026!

In January 2026, we had over 88,000 views and over 46,000 visitors. Our goal is helping people better learn about & think about important issues that are both timely & timeless! You can help by sharing our essays! Thanks! #philosophy #ethics #logic #teaching #education
