During his time as an Artist in Residence (AIR) at the SETI Institute, visual artist, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst Martin Wilner invited prominent SETI Institute scientists to participate in his ongoing project, The Case Histories. Interested in exploring how scientists relate to the possibility of encountering an alien life form, Wilner invited researchers such as Jill Tarter, Seth Shostak, and Franck Marchis to send him daily messages and share thoughts of interest. These messages, filtered through the prism of psychoanalytical principles, were then transformed into drawings and visualized as daily elements of a calendar. More recently, Wilner has expanded his conversations into the realm of AI, an “alien” intelligence that is already in our midst. In this conversation, hosted by SETI AIR Director Bettina Forget, discover how Wilner weaves connections between the human mind, machine learning, consciousness, and our ideas about extraterrestrial life.

Are we alone? Really, though, in a cosmic sense. 40 years ago the pioneering radio astronomer Jill Tarter co-founded a Bay Area non profit to support humanity searching for life beyond ourselves. We celebrate the SETI – as in, Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence – Institute's anniversary and all their contributions to science which, sadly, do not yet include finding aliens. What do you hope SETI finds in its next 40 years? Guests: Bill Diamond, president and CEO, SETI Institute Wael Farah, radio astronomer and project scientist on The Allen Telescope Array, SETI Institute Nathalie Cabrol, astrobiologist and planetary geologist; director of Science, the Carl Sagan Center for Research at the SETI Institute Simon Steel, astronomer, director of Education and Public Outreach, SETI Institute
Nearly 40 years ago, on November 20, 1984, the SETI Institute was incorporated with inaugural officers CEO Thomas Pierson and SETI scientist Jill Tarter. The goal was to provide SETI researchers with a place to grow the search for life beyond Earth. What began with one NASA-funded SETI project and two people has since grown to include over 100 researchers and various scientific areas of study, all seeking to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe. As a part of our outreach and education efforts, we grew our presence on the Internet, reaching out to a wide audience through our website, social media, and livestreams like SETI Live. We have education programs across all age ranges. We produce the weekly podcast Big Picture Science. And today, we celebrate all of these accomplishments and look forward to the next 40 years of science. Join host and senior planetary astronomer Franck Marchis as he chats with SETI Institute President and CEO Bill Diamond, senior astronomer and Big Picture Science co-host Seth Shostak, long-time Board of Directors member Andrew Fraknoi, and the Director of the Carl Sagan Center Nathalie Cabrol.

Do aliens dream about meeting us, too? Up Next ► Michio Kaku: The laws of physics doom Planet Earth • Michio Kaku: The laws of physics doom... When we first started exploring space, we only knew about the eight planets in our Solar System. Today, we know that in the Milky Way galaxy, there are more planets than there are stars. Additionally, there are organisms on Earth called "extremophiles" that thrive in extreme or hostile environments, similar to those found on many exoplanets. With so much potentially habitable real estate in the Universe, it is natural to wonder if it actually is inhabited. SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, is trying to find out. --------------------------------- About Jill Tarter: Jill Tarter is Director of the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California. She served as Project Scientist for NASA's SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey, and has conducted numerous observational programs at radio observatories worldwide. Since the termination of funding for NASA's SETI program in 1993, she has served in a leadership role to secure private funding to continue the exploratory science. Her astronomical work was illustrated in Carl Sagan's 1985 novel "Contact." The character largely based on Tarter, "Ellie Arroway," was portrayed by Jodie Foster in the 1997 film version of "Contact." ---------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive access to full interviews, early access to new releases, Big Think merch and more ►Get Big Think+ for Business Guide, inspire and accelerate leaders at all levels of your company with the biggest minds in business Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we take a deep dive into our expanding potential in every single decade of the aging process. Our guest, Carl Honoré, is raising eyebrows with his novel insights about aging, with special emphasis on how it improves collaboration in diverse groups, the advantages we are gaining with age, and the things to look forward to that we can't get to any other way. 00:00 Preview 00:47 Aging as An Adventure Society bombards us with the idea that aging is a form of surrender or a disease, or a curse. We should embrace aging as it's natural. We can embrace aging as a process of opening doors rather than closing them. We have a cult around “youth”' We are all grappling with the passage of time. We can approach aging with a spirit of optimism. We should embrace milestone birthdays instead of mourning them. “Aging is an extraordinary process where you become the person you always should have been.” - David Bowie Research has shown that buying into ageism and the cult of youth can increase your chances of: Buying into ageism and the cult of youth is the ultimate act of harm. 04:26 Ageism: A Problem We Can Solve Debbie Shore appeared on Episode 136 of the Conspiracy of Goodness Podcast and spoke about the importance of solving the problems that we can solve. Ageism is a problem we can solve. Ageism affects all of us and therefore fixing it can help us all. In today's world, we're living better lives for longer. While we might lose physical ability gradually there's still a lot we can do. Carl recently got chosen to play for The Great Britain masters national ball hockey team. Ages can be seen the same way as levels in a video game. In Carl's book, Bolder, he speaks to the value of the experience we gain as we get older. 04:26 Creativity People can be creative at all stages of their lives. Some forms of creativity can only be attained with time and experience. Young people do not have a monopoly on creativity. History is full of examples of people doing creative work later on in their lives e.g Beethoven, Bach, Michaelangelo, etc. In the UK, where Carl lives, there's a Turner Prize for visual artists that had an age cap of 50 years old. The age cap on the Turner Prize was removed in 2017 because the Chair of the organization stated that a creative breakthrough can be made at any age. 16:11 Break 21:38 The U-Shaped Happiness Curve Human beings follow a U-shaped happiness curve. The adults around the world who report the highest levels of life satisfaction are the over 55's. Scientists have found a similar U shaped happiness curve in chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans which suggests that a happiness boost later on in life is within our primate genes. One theory about happiness later in life suggests that happy grandparents lead to longevity in tribes. 28:28 An Upbeat Perspective Whatever you're grappling with, you get back what you put into the world. If you default to doom and gloom you won't get a whole lot of joy back. So much of what is good with the world starts with us as individuals. 30:24 The Talent Shortage There is currently a talent shortage and a high number of underemployed people. We need to structurally change the way people finance their retirement and the way savings plans are set up. Older workers have been frozen out or pushed off the off ramp of the working world. Older people are still willing and able to work. Companies are changing their approach to older staff. Companies are introducing initiatives to make older staff feel more welcomed and to welcome back older staff that have retired. Programs geared toward older staff include: Keeping people with institutional knowledge is critical. Dr. Jill Tarter retired as the director of the SETI institute at 80 years old and had a wealth of institutional knowledge that would have been lost if she retired at 65. Hear her story on Episode 128 of theConspiracy of Goodness Podcast. We pay the price when we put experienced people to pasture...
Sad news for all of us: producer Rachael Cusick— who brought us soul-stirring stories rethinking grief (https://zpr.io/GZ6xEvpzsbHU) and solitude (https://zpr.io/eT5tAX6JtYra), as well as colorful musings on airplane farts (https://zpr.io/CNpgUijZiuZ4) and belly flops (https://zpr.io/uZrEz27z63CB) and Blueberry Earths (https://zpr.io/EzxgtdTRGVzz)— is leaving the show. So we thought it perfect timing to sit down with her and revisit another brainchild of hers, The Cataclysm Sentence, a collection of advice for The End. To explain: one day in 1961, the famous physicist Richard Feynman stepped in front of a Caltech lecture hall and posed this question to a group of undergraduate students: “If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence was passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words?” Now, Feynman had an answer to his own question—a good one. But his question got the entire team at Radiolab wondering, what did his sentence leave out? So we posed Feynman's cataclysm question to some of our favorite writers, artists, historians, futurists—all kinds of great thinkers. We asked them “What's the one sentence you would want to pass on to the next generation that would contain the most information in the fewest words?” What came back was an explosive collage of what it means to be alive right here and now, and what we want to say before we go.

Dr. Lynda sits down with Dr. Jill Tarter to talk about SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), Jill's 40 year journey, pioneering that field as a female scientist, and how positive a more “cosmic perspective” could be in our lives and our shared futures. [00:00 - 03:00 ] OPENING [03:01 - 09:45] The search for extraterrestrial intelligence Stars have the same constant temperature [09:46 - 15:30] Desert varnish Collaboration in the search for life in other worlds Possibility of life in inhospitable environments [15:31 - 25:10] Looking at the stars in the sky as a child Being the only female in a class of engineering students Locking the dorms for the female students at night You can do anything you want if you're willing to work hard enough Learning “carpe diem” very early in life [25:11 - 33:15] Defining success in a way that's meaningful to you The Drake equation [33:16 - 38:15] Looking for life beyond Earth using more standard academic research New equipment and telescopes show us something that we didn't expect at all [38:16 - 41:30 ] A layman's explanation of the Drake equation It's not the longevity of the engineers but it's how long the technology are used [41:31 - 48:00] The best-case scenario on finding extraterrestrial life Appreciate how vast the universe we inhabit is Adapting a cosmic context in the way we view the world [48:01 - 48:45] CLOSING
Jill Tarter is the Emeritus Chair for SETI Research at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for that institution. Tarter received her Bachelor of Engineering Physics Degree with Distinction from Cornell University and her Master's Degree and a Ph.D. in Astronomy from the University of California, Berkeley. She has spent the majority of her professional career attempting to answer the old human question “Are we alone?” by searching for evidence of technological civilizations beyond Earth. She served as Project Scientist for NASA's SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey and has conducted numerous observational programs at radio observatories worldwide. She is a Fellow of the AAAS, the California Academy of Sciences, and the Explorers Club, she was named one of the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2004, and one of the Time 25 in Space in 2012, received a TED prize in 2009, two public service awards from NASA, multiple awards for communicating science to the public, and has been honored as a woman in technology. She was the 2014 Jansky Lecturer, and received a Genius Award from Liberty Science Center in 2015. She served as President of the California Academy of Sciences 2015-16. Asteroid 74824 Tarter (1999 TJ16) has been named in her honor. In 2018 she was recognized with the Maria Mitchell Women in Science Award and the Sir Arthur Clarke Innovator's Award, and in 2021 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Since the termination of funding for NASA's SETI program in 1993, she has served in a leadership role to design and build the Allen Telescope Array and to secure private funding to continue the exploratory science of SETI. Many people are now familiar with her work as portrayed by Jodie Foster in the movie Contact. Her biography Making Contact was written by Sarah Scoles and published in 2017
There may be no question more profound than, “Are we alone in the universe?” Certainly, recent years have seen a lot of energy around looking for signs of primitive life on other worlds—Mars, Europa, Enceladus, even Venus. But microbes, even Martian ones, seem like poor company. What of the search for intelligent life? Are we done with that? Was that just an 80s thing, like shoulder pads? Cady and Andrew talk with legendary pioneer in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Jill Tarter, about the present and future of SETI. Before that, there's talk of the new Decadal Survey, but not a word about Uranus. Also, hope, coffee, and teenagers at the edge of the universe. Lastly, a heart-y new Sounds of Space from the great folks at SYSTEM Sounds. Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Visit our website at missioninterplanetary.com and drop us a line!

Dr Jill Tarter is Emeritus Chair for SETI Research at the SETI Institute. Jill has served as Project Scientist for NASA's SETI program and has since spent 35 years at the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization she helped launch in 1984. She and the SETI team are scanning space for signals that could reveal intelligent alien life. She recently stepped down as the Director of Center for SETI Research after 28 years and is one of the most lauded and accomplished SETI researchers on our planet. She has been named as one of the Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World and the inspiration for the character of Ellie Arroway in Carl Sagan's Contact, a role played by Jodie Foster in the film.

Quick Take is a weekly dose of ideas and insights delivered in short form.Today's episode features astronomer Jill Tarter. She co-founded SETI, or the “Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute.” Watch her full conversation from the Aspen Ideas Festival https://www.aspenideas.org/sessions/searching-for-aliens-finding-ourselvesFollow us on instagram.com/aspenideas Follow us on facebook.com/aspenideasFollow us on twitter.com/aspenideas
Craig Venter & Daniel Cohen suggested that if the 20th century was the century of physics, the 21st century will be the century of biology on our planet. Jill Tarter believes that their idea will be extended beyond the surface of our world, and that we may soon have the first opportunity to study biology that developed on other worlds. In this lecture, recorded in 2017, she talks about her vision of the future of understanding life on Earth and beyond our planet. And she discusses projects that are underway and are planned to learn more about the possibility of intelligent life among the stars. The talk also celebrated the publication of the book "Making Contact" (by Sarah Scoles) about Jill Tarter's life and work.
Since the beginning of human civilisation, people have looked up at the night sky and wondered – are we alone? Science and technology of the 20th century has made it possible to try to address that question. So how is are we doing? With Jill Tarter from @SETIInstitute
How has the ¢SETI evolved over the last 6 decades and especially what can modern technology allow today that was not possible then? With Jill Tarter from @SETIInstitute
Desde hace más de un siglo atrás personas como Carl Friedrich Gauss pensaban como comunicarse con civilizaciones extraterrestres. Otros científicos como Nikola Tesla pensaban que habían hecho contacto con extraterrestres al descubrir ondas de radio provenientes del espacio. La búsqueda de comunicación con alienígenas cambio por completo en la segunda mitad del siglo XX con personajes como Frank Drake, Freeman Dyson, Carl Sagan y Jill Tarter. Hoy buscamos en el cosmos distintos tipos de señales que finalmente respondan la pregunta ¿Estamos solos?Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/jugodeciencia)
Seth Shostak directs the search for extraterrestrials at the SETI Institute in California—trying to find evidence of intelligent life in space. He is also committed to getting the public, especially young people, excited about astrobiology and science in general. Seth is the host of “Big Picture Science,” the SETI Institute's weekly radio show. The one-hour program uses interviews with leading researchers and lively and intelligent storytelling to tackle such big questions as: What came before the big bang? How does memory work? Will our descendants be human or machine? What's the origin of humor? Big Picture Science can be found in iTunes and other podcast sites. http://sethshostak.com/ Thanks to our sponsors! https://magbreakthrough.com/impossible http://betterhelp.com/impossible The SETI Institute was incorporated as a 501(c)3 California Non-Profit Corporation on November 20, 1984. The inaugural officers of the Institute were CEO Thomas Pierson and SETI scientist Jill Tarter. The Institute began operations on February 1, 1985. Prior to the inception of the SETI Institute, NASA was funding a small project in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. John Billingham, Chief of Life Sciences at NASA Ames Research Center and Bernard (Barney) Oliver, formerly of Hewlett-Packard invited Tom Pierson and others into discussions about maximizing the effectiveness of the funds, and ways of putting more money into the research and less into institutional overhead. These discussions led to the concept of a dedicated non-profit research organization focused on research and education around the factors of the Drake Equation. This vision was realized in the 1984 incorporation of the SETI Institute. https://www.seti.org/ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmXH_moPhfkqCk6S3b9RWuw/join Support the podcast: https://www.patreon.com/drbriankeating And please join my mailing list to get resources and enter giveaways to win a FREE copy of my book (and more) http://briankeating.com/mailing_list.php

Skywalking Through Neverland: A Star Wars / Disney Fan Podcast
In episode 2 of Totally Tell Me Everything -- a monthly podcast hosted by podcasters and friends, Sarah Woloski and Bryn MacKinnon -- we tackle the topic of Space! As always, we've got three questions to ask and answer about this episode's topic, so let's get to it, shall we? Question 1: What is it about space and how did your interest in space begin? Bryn kicks off the conversation (and reveals just how old she really is) with the Space Shuttle program and then quickly diverts us to a downer story about the Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster in 1986. Small redemption in the story about seeing the final space shuttle, Endeavor, on its trip to the California Science Center. Sarah saves the day by sharing the very relatable story of building a remarkably accurate model of the solar system in 3rd grade with her engineer father, Peter Heitman, which sparked her interest in the vastness we call space. We talk at length about the excellent space/science/romance movie, “Contact,” starring Jodi Foster and Matthew McConaughey. And let's not forget Sarah and her mother's shared love of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Related links and rabbit holes: Influence of TV shows, films and books about space: E.T. the Extra Terrestrial, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Star Wars, Apollo 13, Stephen Hawking's “A Brief History of Time,” Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, The Right Stuff, more The Right Stuff The Very Large Array Art and science come together in the music of space: Alan Silvestri, composer of the soundtracks for Contact and Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey Pine Cones vs Pine Nuts Question 2: What do we want to learn about space? Interestingly, we both did research on and want to talk about life beyond our planet, but from slightly different angles. Sarah takes deep into the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, particularly the SETI Institute, the non-profit in Silicon Valley that listens to and analyzes the sounds we can hear from space, with the hope of finding intelligent life out there. SETI was founded 1984, by Tom Pierson and astronomer Jill Tarter, and played a large role in “Contact,” which Sarah assigned Bryn to watch as podcast homework before we recorded this episode. Drake Equation How many habitable planets are there? Arecibo collapse COOL PODCAST ALERT: The Science of Sci-Fi Podcast, with Erin MacDonald While Sarah dove into the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, Bryn looked into communication with extraterrestrial intelligence, or CETI. Arecibo message Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence by Lambros D. Callimahos at the NSA Do we need a special language to talk to aliens? How do you communicate with an intelligent entity you know nothing about? Or with whom you have no common cultural background? TANGENT: Bryn explores some examples of this that we already have on Earth: Plants and animals communicate in ways that we have been able to observe or participate in Trees Bees Dogs can learn "talk" Apes using sign language Question 3: What are you excited about regarding space? Sarah can't wait to get involved in space research, and you can, too! SETI's Planet Patrol: You can inspect stars from home and help with SETI's research Citizen Science for NASA: Collaborate with NASA scientists on many different projects from your cell phone or laptop. NASA Solve: There are problems to solve, and you can get involved! You might even win a competition. Bryn is excited to catch the space action as it happens. Here's how you can, too!

Follow Perseverance on Twitter! Tangents and corrections: Astronaut ice cream, Reese's Pieces, Pia Zadora, Tang, The Black Hole Bryn got this quote so wrong: “Planting seeds in a garden you never get to see” is a line in the song “The World Was Wide Enough” from Hamilton, an American Musical. She blames the pandemic. Final Thought: We wrap it up by revisiting Bryn's husband's statement that space exploration is the manifestation of our biggest dreams, goals and questions as humans. Space exploration, whether up there in rockets, shuttles and space stations or from down here on our home planet, captures and expands our imaginations. It is ambitious, dangerous, difficult and risky. But as Ellie Arroway's father says in the movie “Contact” when she asks him if he thinks there's people on other planets: “I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space.” Thank you for joining us for this episode of Totally Tell Me Everything.

It's a special honour to have a Rationable Interview with Leonard Tramiel. He a good friend of Rationable, of course. You might have seen him in the Rationable Conversations group on Facebook if you're a part of it. Join in if you're not.He's also an accomplished sceptic in his own right. He's a member of the board of the Center for Inquiry (CFI). This is an organisation of sceptics that publishes the Skeptical Inquirer magazine and holds the annual CSICON sceptics' conference in Las Vegas, which is where I first met Leonard.Leonard is also on the Council of Advisors for the Search for Extraterrestrial Life (SETI)! Yes, that SETI. He has worked with the California Department of Education to help them improve the quality of their textbooks. That's not surprising at all when you know he's been a volunteer 8th-grade astronomy teacher as well.Last but not least, Leonard started his career working under his father in Atari, developing their very first gaming platforms. Yes, that Atari!So we had a nice long chat about his early life, his passion for physics and astronomy, his family life and being the son of Jack Tramiel, who revived Commodore International and enabled the creation of one of the very first PC microchips that contributed to the dawn of personal computing. We also talked about his time at Atari, his encounter with Jill Tarter of SETI (who inspired the character of Dr Ellie Arroway in Carl Sagan's novel Contact), his pet peeves with science literacy and much much more.I would love to do another interview with him so if you have any questions, be sure to drop them in the comments or mail them to abhijit@berationable.com.Reference LinksThe story of Commodore and the 8-bit generation | Leonard Tramiel | TEDxMidAtlanticLeonard Tramiel and the 6502 chip - 8Bites - #TheCommodoreStory [4K]Why Jack Tramiel left Commodore by Leonard Tramiel (2015)Leonard's interview with Jill Tarter: https://centerforinquiry.org/conferences/csicon/2016/interview-tarter.htmlIntro and outro music: Don't Stop performed by Nothing More, from their album, The Stories We Tell Ourselves.

WIRED ICON Jill Tarter, cofounder of the SETI Institute NOMINATES Margaret Turnbull, astronomer investigating alien biology October 2018. Subscribe to WIRED.Plunkett + Kuhr DesignersWhen she met Jill Tarter more than two decades ago, one of Margaret Turnbull's first questions was, “How can somebody work with you?” Tarter was leading the Center for SETI Research at the time; Turnbull was an astronomy student. The next summer, Tarter took Turnbull on as an intern.
SETI pioneer Jill Tarter and Berkeley researcher Dan Werthimer talk about how the discovery of nearby exoplanets is inspiring new efforts to gain info about these galactic neighbors.
In December 2016, three generations of women astronomers joined me for a phone call. Debra Fischer, Natalie Batalha, and Margaret Turnbull have dedicated their careers to comprehending planets beyond the solar system, the signs of microbial life that might be on those planets, or both of those out-there topics.
Hosts: Ed Brown, Dr. Shayne Joseph, Penny Dumsday, Lucas Randall. 00:00:51 A genetic analysis of the leather coat and fur hat worn by Otzi the iceman has not only revealed what animals he was wearing, but also why. 00:07:07 Zebra finch mothers sing weather reports to their eggs, and the embryos alter the speed of their development accordingly. 00:12:16 Tasmanian devils, nearly wiped out by a devastating facial tumour disease, may be showing signs of resistance to the cancer. This could have a dramatic impact on conservation efforts. 00:20:07 Traces of supernova ash has been discovered in fossils created by bacteria on Earth, which could explain an extinction event 2 million years ago. 00:23:04 Russian scientists have detected an unusually strong spike in radio signals from the vicinity of a nearby star. The internet says it's aliens. Actual scientists say it probably isn't. 00:30:46 The "EM Drive" - a space drive that appears to break the laws of physics - has "passed peer review". But what does that actually mean, and does it mean the drive could be the engine of future spacecraft? Answers: Not much, probably not. This episode contains traces of SETI astronomer Jill Tarter on Science channel's "Through the Wormhole", describing the first small steps in the search for alien intelligence.
Out There. In the show this time, we talk to Dr. Jill Tarter about SETI [05:53 - 19:12], Ian Harrison rounds up the latest news [01:09-05:46] and we find out what we can see in the January night sky from Ian Morison and Claire Bretherton [39:08 - 56:59].
