May 15, 2025 ~ Yesterday the Michigan House took up the bipartisan school safety and mental health plan. Rep. Jaime Green joins Kevin to discuss this.
Featuring:JAIME GREEN, The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the CosmosOne of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? While the science behind this inquiry is fascinating, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope. In The Possibility of Life, acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets. Along the way, she interweaves insights from science fiction writers who construct worlds that in turn inspire scientists. This amazing book somehow managed to incorporate everything from expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy research, philosophical inquiry, and pop culture touchstones ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to StarTrek to Arrival. But probably what makes this one of my favorites is a sneaky side quest you can't help but travel throughout: Not “are there aliens,” but “What does it mean to be human?” If you loved chatting with Katie Mack and Marc Hartzman, then you won't want to miss this night of wonders (and maybe little green cocktails).

For a long time, imagining what alien life could look like was mostly the job of science fiction creators. But in recent years, the field of astrobiology has gotten a boost from the discovery of faraway exoplanets with atmospheres which could support life. In trying to imagine what aliens could look like, scientists have found that science fiction is a good jumping off point. Astrobiologist Michael Wong hosts a science of Star Trek podcast called Strange New Worlds, and biologist Mohamed Noor wrote a book called Live Long and Evolve about what Star Trek can teach us about science. They discuss the influence Star Trek has on the way they question what the building blocks of life could be outside Earth, and what would happen if you rewound the clock of evolution. Plus, Jaime Green talks about her book The Possibility of Life, where she interviewed scientists about which science fiction is asking the right questions about astrobiology.

Our guest this week is the series editor for The Best American Science and Nature Writing, and author of the book The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos. She had us read an Ursula LeGuin novella about a "generation ship," a science fiction trope involving humans traversing the universe in search of a new planetary home. Did she pick this specifically to troll Mike, who is on the record as a sci fi skeptic? It's entirely possible! We talk about what drew Jaime to science writing, and why she considers herself an essayist, rather than a journalist. Also: what would be on our wish lists for a new planet? And will this LeGuin novella finally be the thing to win Mike over to the side of sci fi?

As long as we've looked up into the starlit sky, people have wondered: Are we alone in the universe? And it's a question that science takes seriously too, with NASA holding its first ever public meetings into its investigation of UFO reports earlier this spring. Still, given the vastness of the universe, there's a good chance we'll never know the answer. But science writer and author of The Possibility of Life, Jaime Green, says it's still an important question to ask, because it teaches us much about ourselves. She joins guest host David Common to talk about the cutting edge science behind the search for extraterrestrial life... and Star Trek too.
Guest host David Common speaks with CBC Senior Reporter Sam Samson about the latest on Thursday's deadly collision in southwestern Manitoba, Susan Delacourt and Matt Gurney break down the political controversy surrounding Paul Bernardo's prison transfer and the fallout from David Johnston's resignation as special rapporteur on foreign interference, Jaime Green walks through the cutting edge science behind the search for extraterrestrial life, Michelle Good shares the conversations she thinks we should be having about Indigenous life in Canada, Mark and Sam Pupo invite us into their kitchen to celebrate Father's Day, and Aisha Harris reflects on the intersection of identity and entertainment through pop culture.

Why Have Ocean Temperatures Spiked? Sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic have risen dramatically in recent weeks, to as much as 0.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the previous record—and over 1 degree C warmer than average temperatures from 1982 to 2011. The reason for the unusually toasty waters isn't entirely clear. Some climatologists attribute part of the rise to an El Niño ocean circulation pattern this year, replacing the La Niña pattern that had been suppressing temperatures. Other factors may include a decline in atmospheric dust from the Sahara, and atmospheric circulation patterns that are allowing warm surface water to stay in place longer. The warmer temperatures aren't just limited to the North Atlantic, however—for the past three months, global average sea surface temperatures have also been reaching new highs. Casey Crownhart, a climate reporter at MIT Technology Review, joins Ira to talk about the warming trend, and other stories from the week in science, including accusations of body part sales from the Harvard Medical School morgue, studies of the economics of heat pumps, and a lawsuit brought by youth in Montana over global warming. The Best Summer Books, According To Two Science Writers Summer is one of the best times to crack open a book and read the hours away, according to Jaime Green and Annalee Newitz. The two science writers are voracious readers, and they've compiled a list of their summer reading recommendations for Science Friday listeners. Green and Newitz join Ira from New Britain, Connecticut and San Francisco, California respectively, to discuss their favorite nonfiction and fiction books for the summer, and take questions from listeners.

In this episode we talk to Jaime Green about her superb cultural and scientific exploration of alien life and the cosmos. It examines how the possibility of life on other planets shapes our understanding of humanity. Fans of Leslie Jamison, Carl Zimmer and Carlo Rovelli will find a lot to think about. One of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? Yet this very question is inevitably reduced to yes or no, to odds and probabilities that posit answers through complex physics. The science is fascinating, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values and aspirations, our fears and anxieties, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope. In The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination and Our Vision of the Cosmos (Hanover Square Press, 2023), acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green, traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus up through to our contemporary quest for exoplanets in the "Goldilocks zone," where life akin to ours on Earth might exist. Along the way, she interweaves insights from a long-standing tradition of science fiction writers who use the power of imagination to extrapolate and construct worlds that in turn inspire scientists. Weaving in expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy research, philosophical inquiry and pop culture touchstones ranging from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek to Avatar, The Possibility of Life explores our evolving conception of the cosmos to ask an even deeper question: What does it mean to be human? John W. Traphagan, Ph.D. is Professor and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Fellow in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, where he is also a professor in the Program in Human Dimensions of Organizations.

In this episode, we interview Jaime Green, Superintendent of the Trinity Alps Unified School District in rural Northern California. The county is mostly federal lands. He has served as the superintendent for the past five years. Trinity Alps sends buses an hour to an hour and a half one way. The school traveled with the LA Times to Washington DC and was impressed by how caring legislators are to issues of education and kids. Superintendent Green then shifts the interview to discuss history. He discusses the Secure Schools Act, which provides funding gained from federal lands to help fund education under the leadership of Teddy Roosevelt. Rosevelt, in partnership with the NREA (that's right, the NREA) worked to provide 25% of the wealth gained from public lands to support schools. Currently, there is a huge disparity in funding between urban and rural funding. Following later policy changes regarding the use of federal lands, the government shifted to providing an allotment of funds to support rural education about ten years ago. Then ten years ago, the government suggested that education be weaned off federal lands and allotments. Further, for school districts with large amounts with large federal land, property taxes are not sustainable to fund education. Superintendent Green approached legislators about how to find solutions to these funding issues. One proposal was for strategic resource allocation, like selective resource use to fund schools (e.g., selective cut timber). Legislators shared with Superintendent Green that they were unaware of the history of the program. If the issue is not addressed, school districts will have limited resources, if any at all. Trinity Alps Unified School District is only receiving 1/4 of the funds allocated over 15 years ago. Therefore, there is an equity gap between rural and urban areas. Many rural schools need broadband and other resources. Further, loss of further funding could result in staff and teacher cuts. Superintendent Green suggests that investing in education is investing in our future by creating taxpayers, not tax consumers, by providing quality education and rural resource to build rural communities.

Hello everyone! This week, we are looking at How to Cook Up Life on a Planet. Later in the show, we will be talking with Jaimie Green, author of the new book, The Possibility of Life.So, how does life form on a new planet? Chemicals and energy. That's how. You know what else you can do with chemicals and energy? Cook food, that's what! (Excuse me a minute while I put on this chef's hat)Listen to the podcast here, or watch this episode as a video!If you are looking to cook up life on an early-career planet, here's what you'll need for this recipe:An abundance of amino acidsSome supply of sugarsA quantity of nucleotidesAt least a Little LipidsWater andenergyFirst, let's talk about amino acids. These guys are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for life as we know it. Vegetarian sources of amino acids include nuts, berries, beans, almonds, mint, or… [look around]oranges. Kind of like these tangerines right here. Look, we're letting this sit in for primitive amino acids, let the orange thing slide. OK?The first amino acids may have formed through a process called “abiogenesis,” where simple organic compounds combine and react along with energy, such as lightning strikes or ultraviolet radiation from the sun. The molecules and structures within foods can change radically when they cook. [

Do you believe there's something Out There? What do our ideas of aliens say about what life is, how life could look and act? And what does it say about us, about what we think life needs, wants, and should be? We're talking with Jaime Green about her new book: The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos.
Author Jaime Green discusses the questions of — not “Are We Alone?” — but “What If We're Alone?” and explores both science and culture's search for kinship in the cosmos. Science writer Jaime Green's new book is The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination and Our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos. Weaving in expert interviews, cutting-edge astronomy research, philosophical inquiry and pop culture touchstones ranging — from A Wrinkle in Time to Star Trek to Arrival — The Possibility of Life explores our evolving conception of the cosmos to ask an even deeper question: What does it mean to be human?

Host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Jaime Green to #ConversationsLIVE to discuss the book THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE.
One of the most powerful questions humans ask about the cosmos is: Are we alone? While the science behind this inquiry is fascinating, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is a reflection of our values, our fears, and most importantly, our enduring sense of hope.In "The Possibility of Life," acclaimed science journalist Jaime Green traces the history of our understanding, from the days of Galileo and Copernicus to our contemporary quest for exoplanets.

Is Anybody Out There? The Quest For Life In Space It's one of humanity's biggest fundamental questions: “Is there life elsewhere in the universe?” But despite years of searching, it's a query that still has no answer. That conundrum also opens up a whole string of other inquiries, from how to best search for signs of life, to whether we'll be able to make sense of what we're seeing. The search for life elsewhere can also help us learn about our own existence. How many of what we consider the basic rules of life on earth are really just suggestions, or convenient accidents? A new book tackles these riddles through the lens of both science and science fiction. Science writer Jaime Green, author of the book, The Possibility of Life: Science, Imagination, and our Quest for Kinship in the Cosmos, joins Ira to talk about the science, history, and philosophy of our search for alien lifeforms, and takes questions from callers. The SciFri Book Club will be reading this book together in May—you can read along with us next month. Find everything you need to know on our May Book Club page. Farm Fertilizers Can Contain ‘Forever Chemicals' From Sewage The Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant is a pollution success story. Over the last several decades, it transformed Boston Harbor from a nationally embarrassing cesspool into a swimmable bay. The treatment plant takes everything the people of Greater Boston send down their sinks, toilets, showers and washing machines — plus industrial waste — and treats it. The treated water is clean enough to let out into the ocean. The remaining sludge gets recycled into fertilizer that's used in nearly 20 states. But now that fertilizer is raising fresh concerns. That's because wastewater treatment plants like Deer Island were not built to handle the toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. The treatment process concentrates PFAS chemicals in the sludge, and therefore in the fertilizer, leading environmentalists and public health advocates to call for an immediate end to its use. Others are not sure that a full ban on sludge-based fertilizer, or “biosolids,” is the answer. But there is widespread agreement that we have only begun to grasp the extent of the problem. To read the full article, visit sciencefriday.com When AI And Dementia Intersect As AI becomes more advanced, it's also becoming a bigger part of our lives. That's especially true of smart speakers, which to some of us, act as another member of a family: answering simple questions, reminding us about appointments, and entertaining children. But what parts of our privacy are we giving up to make our lives slightly more convenient? That's the focus of a new play called “Smart,” which tells the story of four characters: a woman, her aging mother who has dementia, an AI programmer who works for a tech company, and a smart speaker named Jenny. Ira speaks with the writer of “Smart,” Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, about how she wrote the play, how the science behind AI inspired its plot, and the connections between AI hallucinations and dementia-induced hallucinations. Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The boys (and special guest Jaime Green) make a valiant effort to keep the rating on this one down and appease the censors, but end up with what can only be described as a raunchy, titillating, supercharged s*x romp. "The Governess Game" is a very naughty novel that does indeed have some babysitting in it but really is mostly frenching and groping and generally getting to third base. Draw up a warm bubble bath, light some candles, and settle in for a legitimately wild ride.

Viral Kindness is a new commentary that shares moments and gestures of goodwill during these difficult times. Robin Macy, steward of Bartlett Arboretum, experienced a significant gift of time and talent in the form of photojournalist Jaime Green. "She contacted me after seeing a humanities quick grant and thought maybe there’d be an opportunity to show the world this place, virtually," Macy says. Green's resulting three-part documentary is called "Beauty in a Broken World." One area of focus in the film has become Bartlett’s annual Tulip Time. "The pandemic of 100 years ago is the reason there is a Tulip Time season, because Dr. Walter Bartlett, his only daughter was succumbed at age seven. The Tulip Time, planting 40,000 tulips, was in her memory 100 years ago, so it’s a great paradox today that we have 40,000 tulips blooming here for no one to see. "So that’s the first part of it, but mostly it’s a towering chapter in the story of the human condition and how Mother Nature is the
