One branch of statistics, called Bayesian statistics, is becoming increasingly important in detecting new planets. Emily Sandford, a second-year graduate student with the Cool Worlds Lab at Columbia, explains our new paper and the concept of Bayesian priors, hopefully providing astronomers the tools we need to analyze new discoveries!

Intelligent design purports that the Universe was made by a creator - God. One of the arguments often invoked to make this case is that the physical constants of the Universe are (apparently) finely tuned to permit life. But cosmologist Denis Sciama presented a thought-provoking analysis of this line of thought and suggested it might be possible to even test intelligent design. Join us today as we explore this fascinating concept.

Extreme!!! Everyone loves extreme stuff and astronomers are no different. When it comes to telescopes, size matters. Moiya McTier goes through the biggest telescopes around and what astronomers are planning for in the next few decades. But increasingly astronomers are realizing that we can't just put telescopes wherever we want, the locals may not want us to construct gigantic machines on what can sometimes be sacred ground...

Welcome to Part Two of our deep dive into the Drake Equation. In the second part, we explore the temporal aspect of the Drake Equation and how it illuminates a path towards an alternative formalism - the Birth-Death formalism. Join us as we move forward to the bleeding edge of modern research on the Drake Equation. Written and presneted by Prof David Kipping. Thanks to Jason Wright and Nadia Drake for help with this video.

Lately there has been a growing push-back from the exoplanet community for astronomers to stop using the phrase "Earth-like". In this video, we get into the arguments being made and some reasons why I am personally finding the movement unpalatable. This is a topic ripe for public discussion so please watch through then let us know in the comments section what your opinion is! Thanks for your time!
