I am really excited to see this press release go live! Happy to report that the amazing @notnotrocketscience.com and I are now co-Directors of the new Discovery & Futures Lab at @setiinstitute.bsky.social

NASA been had philosophers @anywayssojayme.bsky.social @patricklin1.bsky.social (they could always use more tho)
If it weren't for you, virtually no one would like my posts with pics containing dubiously justifiable references in the alt text to any lecterns and missing letcterns in the photo. You're a saint. Keep it up

Passed by some baby birds on my ride to the office today. Was passed by a herd of sheep on the way back. Today was a good day

2nd Earth Space Sustainability conference in Leiden was great. Here I am serving on a panel for Starlight as Nature (photo credit: © Barbra Verbij) + I presented on Sustainability Puzzles and the Extraterrestrial Turn. Our @fogos-space.bsky.social leaders were fantastic organizers and co-chairs!
As tech companies propose to launch up to a million new satellites into Earth orbit, my colleague Emilie Lafleche and I explore the multifarious value of preserving Earth's dark skies in an essay for @sequencermag.bsky.social.
We need at least 25 tickets sold for this event to go ahead, so all reposts are very much appreciated! Better yet, come along!

Also, everyone should have a go-to hot springs

Indeed. The room is not the same without it
Me sitting in a chair in the center of the shot wearing a black dress and white shoes, with a large camera in the foreground, lighting equipment to the side, and an empty conference room behind me. The banner in the background indicates that we are at the Center for Science and Thought at the University of Bonn. Not a podium nor a lectern in sight, though there is usually a lectern in this room
There may someday be a German documentary in which I get to talk about space ethics and SETI. Here's pictorial proof of the possibility

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!
appreciate you, kmw
Yes! ❤️
I think you mean "it wasn't even I"

Catherine O'Hara was one of a kind. She had this immense ability to breathe life into a script. Ah, this is so sad.
🎵My sweet, my dear, my darling, you're so far away from me
Though an ocean of tears divides us
Let the bridge of our love span the sea🎵

@storyphi.bsky.social had the pleasure of chatting about philosophy and fiction with @rachelahandley.com (episode out soon??) and let me tell you: this workshop would be a dream.

I strongly recommend checking this out if you're at all interested in SETI

Incredibly cute crosswalk, Sweden. A++/A+
Why did the male feminist walk into a bar? Because it was set extremely low.
If you need something to chop, cook, or clean to, I recommend E03. Eva's story isn't available anywhere but Story Phi. ✌️
