    Keith Cooper is the Editor of Astronomy Now and an author.

    Why is searching for aliens so hard? How would they contact us? How would we decode a message? What are the potential dangers of responding? Should the general public be told if we find them? Should we be freely sending messages out into space?

  • The Problem With Quantum Mechanics - Sean Carroll - #126

  • Social Justice Explained: The Foundations Of Wokeness - James Lindsay - #124

    James Lindsay is an author & researcher.

    I've been exposed the words Social Justice Warrior, Wokeness and Post Modernism a lot over the last year, but I don't really have a strong grasp on their origins or where they came from.

    Thankfully James is the perfect man to explain them to us as he's spent much of his recent career diving head first into the academic literature which underpins these movements. Enjoy.
