Excited to announce a new collaboration between Breakthrough Listen and the MeerKAT telescope in partnership with the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) at the @IAC2018 in Bremen! breakthroughinitiatives.org/news/23

Exciting news for SETI using the newly-launched South African #SKAprecursor telescope! “Listen & MeerKAT are developing next-generation technology and techniques that will ultimately lead to proposals for searches with the SKA” added S. Pete Worden, Breakthrough's Executive Director

With deep sadness we note the passing of Paul Allen, the founder of modern-age privately funded SETI work. You will be missed. space.com/42159-paul-all…

As someone who can be particular about travel and has always challenged the status quo, I am all for making the church taller! Thanks for the brilliant article, Avi Loeb. blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/m…

Proud to be part of the Matthew Isakowitz Fellowship Program, inspiring the next generation of commercial spaceflight leaders. Apply now for Summer 2019! @MattFellowship ctt.ac/lF2mQ+

Great to see our work on fast radio bursts featured as one of CNN's top 10 space stories of 2018: cnn.com/2018/12/05/wor…

Our team just published the results of a search for laser lines from Tabby's Star in Publications of the Astron Society of the Pacific - we're particularly proud of this one because the first author was a high school student when he interned with us last summer seti.berkeley.edu/blog/apf-paper youtu.be/H4R0LZo-_8I

Breakthrough Listen's observations of fast radio burst 121102 helps us understand its environment & train AI to find new bursts. Now we're releasing almost 400 TB of data at breakthroughinitiatives.org/opendatasearch for anyone with technical skills to examine. Details at seti.berkeley.edu/blog/frb-data

BSRC researcher Brian Lacki wondered what would happen if a civilization tried to build megastructures around as many stars in their galaxy as they could. The results were surprisingly counterintuitive. seti.berkeley.edu/blog/sunscreen

In our efforts to decipher some of humanity's deepest questions, the Breakthrough Initiatives looks to become the prime model of public-private partnerships by maximizing the benefits of each sector for scientific space exploration. Read more at.. liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/sp…

Great day talking about extra-terrestrial life, interstellar space travel and other crazy ideas with Pete S. Pete Worden, chairman Breakthrough. Loads of good stuff for my “What is Extra-Terrestrial Life?” lecture DIAS on Thursday.

#Discuss2019 featured an all-star list of scientists asking if primitive life can move between planets and stars - and if that's how life began on Earth.
