This month marks an exciting milestone for ScienceKind as, alongside the continuation of our SK Cutting Edge: Through the Drake Equation series, we're also launching an entirely new live series, Living Beyond Earth, exploring humanity's future in space.
Our first series welcomes Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute, presenting:
Title: What Will E.T. Really Look Like?
Despite decades of searching, we still haven't found convincing evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence. But the search is accelerating rapidly, with advances in astronomy, AI and SETI research bringing us closer than ever before.
Drawing on astrobiology, evolution and modern science, Seth explores one of humanity's biggest questions: if intelligent alien life exists, what might it actually look like? Moving beyond Hollywood's portrayals, he'll examine what science can really tell us about the possible appearance and evolution of extraterrestrial beings.

The following day we launch an exciting new ScienceKind Cutting Edge Series "Living Beyond Earth." Each talk in this series will explore a different aspect of humanity's future beyond our home planet, from establishing lunar settlements and preparing for Mars, to the technological, scientific and societal challenges of becoming a spacefaring civilization.
The inaugural talk features Max King, Aerospace Engineer (EIT) and Science Communicator, presenting Our Past Futures in Space.
Our Past Futures in Space From Jules Verne's imaginative visions in the nineteenth century to today's lunar and Mars missions, Max explores how science fiction has shaped scientific reality. Looking back at humanity's changing vision of space exploration, he asks what the next century may realistically hold as we prepare to establish a permanent human presence beyond Earth.

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.
