YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has been growing in confidence and repute lately thanks to astronomer's detections of habitable worlds and the private funding been poured into the enterprise. With renewed efforts afoot, it's worth pausing for a moment and asking - well what do we do if we succeed? How should the scientists communicate their results? How will the public react? Social media in particular disrupts the conventional pattern of scientific announcements and poses some interesting challenges for SETI. In this video we perhaps end up asking more questions than answers, but let's get into a discussion in the comments about how best to proceed!
