The possibility that alien life may exist somewhere in the cosmos fuels the astronomers who search for it. But what if they’ve all been looking in the wrong place? Science journalist Adam Mann joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the renewed push and excitement to fund the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, or SETI, despite skepticism and pushback. His article, “Intelligent Ways to Search for Extraterrestrials: Is there a more rational way to scan the heavens for alien life?” appeared recently in The New Yorker.
