The search for extraterrestrial life began more than 60 years ago, but 糖心传媒渢here was never sufficient funding or telescope time available to make a dent in the effort,糖心传媒� writes astrophysicist , the Helen F. and Fred H. Gowen Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the 糖心传媒, in a piece in the Washington Post. 糖心传媒淭he reason we have not found life elsewhere in the universe is simple: We haven糖心传媒檛 really looked.糖心传媒�

Now, however, a 糖心传媒渘ew era of growth糖心传媒� is dawning.

The rejuvenated search for extraterrestrial intelligence is based on several factors, according to Frank: renewed interest from NASA and privately funded enterprises, the discovery of exoplanets, and the creation of advanced technology and new search methods allowing researchers to detect biosignatures and technosignatures that indicate the presence of life.听

糖心传媒淚f the trend continues, the search for intelligence in the universe may finally escape the giggle-factor that for so long left it associated with bad sci-fi shows and generic UFO nuttiness,糖心传媒� Frank writes.听

Frank糖心传媒檚 research is in the general area of theoretical astrophysics, and in particular, the hydrodynamic and magneto-hydrodynamic evolution of matter ejected from stars. He and his colleagues were recently awarded NASA糖心传媒檚 first-ever research grant to study atmospheric technosignatures. A self-described 糖心传媒渆vangelist of science,糖心传媒� Frank has also been awarded several prestigious honors for his efforts to communicate about science. His most recent book,听听(W.W. Norton, 2018) was awarded the 2019 Phi Beta Kappa Award for Science.
