In the video with Jill Tarter, the most fascinating segment to me was the public perception of science. I found the triviality (for lack of a better word) in which she discussed electromagnetic signals to be very intriguing, as she explained how utilizing electromagnetic signals might be entirely incorrect. In my own experiences and studies, I have found scientists to traditionally be steadfast in their beliefs and committed to their postulations; Tarter is the exact opposite. It seems like her field requires the characteristics of adaptability and versatility in which other scientific fields do not. I believe that this is due to the amount of unknown unknowns in her field, which forces conventional approaches (like electromagnetic signals) to be reimagined and reevaluated into new techniques (i.e. technosignatures). https://www.labxchange.org/library/pathway/lx-pathway:34dd3b2c-3aec-460a-817f-da4af2ed1577/items/lx-pb:34dd3b2c-3aec-460a-817f-da4af2ed1577:lx_simulation:e9099212?source=%2Flibrary%2Fclusters%2Flx-cluster%3AModernPrediction
