SETI Talks - Do ETs Watch Us? What Do They See?

We are excited to bring SETI Talks in person to the SETI Institute! You can attend either in person or online.

Let’s assume that extra-terrestrial civilizations exist in our galaxy. Like us, they are conducting their own SETI research to find us, see us and study us. What would they see? What methods could they use to learn about us? What technologies have they invented to see and listen to us. And finally, what information will they get from our civilization.

Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the possibility of extraterrestrial civilizations observing our own planet. Our panel of experts, Seth Shostak Senior researcher at the SETI Institute and Paul Dalba,  research scientist at the SETI Institute and 51 Pegasi b Fellow of the Heising-Simons Foundation, will present the latest research and theories on this fascinating topic.

Don’t miss this opportunity to expand your knowledge and engage in scientific discourse. Molly Bentley, Executive Producer and co-host at Big Picture Science will moderate this conversation.

This talk will be in person at the SETI Institute (limited space available) and online.
