Join us to honor two SETI pioneers receiving the Drake Award on May 6 in a special virtual celebration. Dan Werthimer, UC Berkeley SETI Research Center, and Paul Horowitz, Professor Emeritus at Harvard, have significantly advanced our understanding of the cosmos and the field of SETI.
What do Dan and Paul think about the potential signals from Proxima Centauri? How do they feel about the future of SETI and what new discoveries will come when the James Webb Space Telescope launches? And what about this idea that alien space trash has already drifted through our solar system?
Join Dan and Paul as they reflect on their impact on the field of SETI, with Adam Savage (from the award-winning show, Mythbusters) as Master of Ceremonies.
