Our team searches for intelligent life beyond Earth using telescopes across the globe. We're the science leads for @brkthroughprize Listen.
This month at the SETI Institute, exciting developments are shaping our understanding of the cosmos and the search for extraterrestrial life. Dr. Sofia Sheikh led a study exploring how alien civilizations might detect Earth through our radio signals and atmospheric pollution.…

They also got the chance to interact with the brilliant engineers and technicians preparing for the @SKAO project. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with the community, answer curious questions, & see this exciting instrument here in South Africa 😎
On 2 July, a delegation of 8 RATT members proudly attended the @SKA_Africa Public Open Day in Carnarvon!🎉 This exciting visit offered our students a behind-the-scenes look at how world-class radio astronomy observations are conducted at the MeerKAT site.
Congratulations Dr Sophia Vaughan on winning the @RoyalAstroSoc Michael Penston Thesis Prize. Her ground-breaking thesis on characterizing #exoplanets via reflected light paves the way for discovering Earth-like worlds. Read more: physics.ox.ac.uk/news/dr-vaugha…
