Wondering where @storyphi.bsky.social has been? We've been busy recording, working, parenting, procrastinating, taking naps, and getting ready for a late fall comeback. Look for episode 03 with Eva Dadlez, coming in November. —with @chelseaharamia.bsky.social

You may have heard people say things like, "Mars is a failed Earth." What if, instead, we took the view that Mars didn’t fail at becoming Earth, but succeeded at becoming Mars?

Presented remotely at #PSETI2025 today on sustainability puzzles and the extraterrestrial turn. Am envious of all my wonderful colleagues attending this reliably excellent conference in-person!

How will SETI's search strategies work with the Rubin Observatory's alert brokers to accelerate the hunt for technosignatures? Find out in my latest article on my Substack: storiesfromthecosmicfrontier.substack.com/p/setis-sear...

A couple of years ago I started working with planetary scientists/astrobiologists on an astrobioethics paper. It's turned into some of the most enjoyable work I do. Here's one piece of that collaboration, with big thanks to @miquai.bsky.social for making it all happen www.nature.com/articles/d41...

For those who don't have a Nature subscription, you can access this full-text view-only version ➡️ rdcu.be/evhP5

For the past two years, I've been working with a truly fantastic group of philosophers and scientists on pondering ethical issues in astrobiology and space exploration. Our first publication is now out in @nature.com! I'd be so honored if you gave it a read!
