The project includes cases such as exoplanet #K218b, phosphine on #Venus, Tabby's Star, #Oumuamua, and #3IATLAS. Each video is currently being coded in terms of risk and benefit narratives, sources, science actors and evaluations, and frames of (un)certainty.
The group is using computational methods to analyze thousands of user comments on public videos to investigate reactions to discovery in terms of sentiment and other aspects.

What scientific methods can approach questions of future discovery?
Hub member and risk-communication scholar Andreas Schwarz and students at Ilmenau University of Technology are analyzing YouTube content about post-detection claims with data scientist Anamaria Berea (George Mason University) and the Hub at St Andrews.

🌍 How do you think the world would react if there was a confirmed discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence?
Would it spark global unity, scientific renaissance, or fear and skepticism? Would the impact last or slowly fade away? Would it change anything if the discovery was within our own Solar System?

MSN is featuring the Hub’s white paper for the 2025 NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (DARES).
The paper focuses on planning for the discovery of life beyond Earth and post-detection futures:
*TODAY* #ASignInSpace online reception with artist and researcher Daniela de Paulis and interdisciplinary team.
A Sign in Space - https://asignin.space - is a bold and creative #PostDetection experiment that simulates an extraterrestrial message and invites responses from the public.

Really happy with Thursday's piece on the #SETI post-detection hub in the #Guardian. Thanks to John Elliott.
Here's to exciting inclusive creative collaborations in 2023. Good wishes everybody & take care out there 🌍 🌌
#PostDetection #SETI #Aliens đź‘˝ If aliens contact humanity, who decides what we do next?
Our new #SETI research hub at the University of St Andrews in #Scotland is receiving some really nice press.
"Will we ever get a message from E.T.? We don’t know...” Have a read for John Elliott’s thoughts on #PostDetection, #readiness & #research across disciplines:

đź“Ż Exciting news for the #UKSRN #astrodon account.
The #SETI Post-Detection Hub launched on 2nd Nov 2022 at the #University of #StAndrews. https://news.st-andrews.ac.uk/archive/do-you-speak-extra-terrestrial-research-hub-considers-response-to-life-beyond-earth/
Will this #planet ever receive a #message from #extraterrestrial intelligence? Is #earth ready for #contact if it does?
The #hub connects #research across the #sciences & #humanities. If you're a researcher interested in #PostDetection & the #search for #ET, #xenolinguistics #spacestudies #contact, say hello đź‘‹ https://seti.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk
