Ask an Astrobiologist with Dr. Jill Tarter

Once a month, Sanjoy Som hosts “Ask an Astrobiologist,” a show where the public is invited to interact with a high-profile astrobiologist, who replies to questions on video. Each session lasts about an hour.

Please join us as we welcome Dr. Jill Tarter of the SETI Institute! Dr. Tarter is an astronomer best-known for her work in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, her work in communicating the science of astrobiology, and as the basis for the character of Ellie Arroway in Carl Sagan's novel "Contact" (and the film of the same name starring Jodie Foster).

The show is managed by SAGANet with production support from the NASA Astrobiology Program.
