- 🎭 Stories shape how we imagine contact, long before any real signal. They influence what we expect, fear, and hope, and can help us explore futures and question simple narratives about contact outcomes. 💬 Which contact story influenced you most, and why?

- Are you interested in how detections of life beyond Earth should be handled? Check out this new work from our very own Hub members, Daliah Bibas @daliahbibas.bsky.social and Clément Vidal.
- What methods can research risk & science communication in post-detection contexts? How about analyzing YouTube content on post-detection claims? Hub member & risk-communication scholar Andreas Schwarz shares work from his group at Technische Universität Ilmenau, Prof. Anamaria Berea and the Hub. 1/8
- ❤️ Is emotion part of intelligence? Feelings influence how minds learn and respond to their surroundings. 💭 If emotions help organisms navigate complex environments on Earth, could something similar appear wherever intelligence evolves? What would an intelligent mind without emotion be like?
- 🌿 Does intelligence depend on environment? Life’s surroundings shape how intelligence could form & function. On Earth, in alien worlds, or digital realms, each environment offers unique limits & possibilities. 💬 What kinds of environments do you think could create minds entirely unlike our own?

- Just back from an incredibly interesting and enjoyable weekend at St Andrews (Scotland), where we held our first Workshop for the SETI Post Detection Hub, at the University. Not one PowerPoint slide in evidence and all the better for it - we actually interacted and debated topics. More to come ..
