Answering interstellar calls | Shelley Wright | TEDxDonovanCorrectional 2017

We have a tangible possibility of making contact with alien civilizations in our lifetimes. Scientists are now exploring new search strategies for finding other intelligent life in the Universe. What would such a discovery mean to you? "My love for astronomy started as a child. Combined with my passion for learning new things, I forged a career that focuses on building new instruments to observe the Universe. I conduct scientific experiments that search for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence. I encourage the science community and the world to join this pursuit, believing that finding other life in the Universe will greatly enrich our lives on Earth."
