ET in 30 minutes or your money back - Astronomy on Tap Seattle
Channel: James Davenport
Date: 2022-05-31

My first Astronomy on Tap Seattle talk in 2.5 years, and we're talking about the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), and how we can use LSST and big data surveys to search for ET and technosignatures. 

One of the most interesting things is the history of SETI funding, and . There was a ban on SETI funding for 20 years in the US due to William Proxmire and then Richard Bryan, effectively ending the NASA SETI program for a generation. Thankfully there's hope for the Future of SETI, and we need your support! My prediction: In the next 10 years we will do more SETI than has ever been done before.

This is the full lecture I gave at Bickersons Brewhouse in Ballard, WA (formerly Peddler Brewing)
