For me, it's Arrival (2016)! It challenges the typical "alien invasion" trope by making contact feel less like a battle and more like a communication problem. I also really love how it connects language to time! How about you?

Hey, that's my paper! 😍 Thank you @astrobiology.bsky.social for featuring my work!

NASA will host a live event at 3 p.m. EST, Wednesday, Nov. 19, to share imagery of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS collected by a number of the agency’s missions. The event will take place at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. www.nasa.gov/news-release... ☄️🔭

Had such a great 4 days at the PSETI-2025 Symposium! I really enjoyed learning alongside such an inspiring group of people and running my 2-hour workshop on "What is Intelligence?" 💡

This is a brief account of the day the Wow! Signal was detected, including some lesser-known details, with more to come. #RadioAstronomy #Astrobiology #SETI #WowSignal #AreciboWow phl.upr.edu/wow/story

Excited to share this white paper I co-authored, submitted to NASA-DARES 2025, on the societal and scientific challenges of SETI post-detection 📡

Proud moment! The Hub was given a shout out by the Natural History Museum of London in their "Could Life Exist Beyond Earth" exhibition 👽

Avi Loeb is still insisting 3I/ATLAS might have a large nucleus, and suggests that the aliens are *testing* humanity to see who is intelligent enough to notice that their comet-like spacecraft is actually technological. sites.psu.edu/astrowright/...

this is a galaxy cluster located almost 3 BILLION light years away. we can even see the light curving from galaxies behind it!!! 🌌

One of the best workshops I’ve ever attended!

Episode 7 of The Blind Spot Podcast. @evanthompson.bsky.social and I do a deep dive into why science needs to rethink its approach to life. And we also talk about Evan’s epic adolescence (seriously, it was epic). youtu.be/eCO-qZpJoXI?...
