On Episode 206 of This Week In Space, Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik are joined by Dr. Brianne Suldovsky of Portland State University to discuss what happens after the discovery of an alien life form.
Whether it's a fully functioning civilization or a lowly Martian microbe, the implications are vast. Suldovsky has studied this mostly ignored question and come up with some interesting conclusions — and, like the best science, more questions. How this can best be communicated in an age of mistrust in large institutions and science is a vexing one, and the conversation looked at it from a variety of angles. And — it was fun. Join us!
