Bill Diamond is CEO of the SETI Institute and was called the "Chief Alien Hunter" by the Telegraph. He leads one of the world's most extraordinary scientific missions, and he will be talking to us about "The Signatures of Life and Intelligence and the Impact of First Contact."

In this talk, Bill will explain how scientists are searching for biosignatures and technosignatures beyond Earth, what a real detection would look like, and what happens in the first 72 hours if we find them. Who gets told? What protocols kick in? Does the public find out immediately?

This is your chance to ask him anything.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
