Sky & Telescope article: Where have all the aliens gone?

Jacob — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 06:31:09 +0000

If intelligent life is common in the galaxy, then the fact that we have not yet observed any extraterrestrials raises the question: where are they? The upcoming March issue of Sky & Telescope magazine features an article written by myself and Seth Baum where we discuss how the conspicuous absence of extraterrestrials may relate to the problem of sustainable development on Earth.

Funny story, we were initially slated for the January issue (we even made the table of contents), but a printing error lost the last 10 pages which sadly included our article. Nevertheless, the Sky & Telescope staff are excellent people to work with and made a fast turnaround. Be sure to check out the March issue!

January Upcoming Shows

December Upcoming Shows

Jacob — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:31:15 +0000

A late update halfway through the month, mostly because I’ve been busy getting ready for the American Geophysical Union conference. I’m in San Francisco all week for the conference and am fortunate enough to be giving two talks.

Two chances this month to catch Dirty Superb around State College. Not only are we playing the Red Horse again this Friday, but we’ve also set up an evening show at Jamaica Junction on the 20th. Free hookah, free music–sometimes we just do that here.
