Hey everyone! It was great to see some of you at Discovery last week in Baltimore. Here's a group shot.
After Karen Lloyd's excellent plenary talk on Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth (link goes to the video), we received copies of her book. Let's read it together! Here is the book's goodreads page: Intraterrestrials: Discovering the Strangest Life on Earth by Karen G. Lloyd | Goodreads.
Anne will run a session on a mix of Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons (Anne's schedule varies), at 4:00 pm US Eastern time. Trish and Diana will run a session on Fridays at 1 pm US Eastern time. Those of you in Europe are invited to join one of these sessions, or contact me if you wish to host a session in Europe.
We believe we can read this short book in three sessions, during the weeks of November 16, 30, and December 14.
To join, contact either Anne Milley ([email protected]) or Trish Roth ([email protected]) and they'll send a Teams meeting notice.
I'm looking forward to reading this book with you all!

We had such fun in our winter book club this year that some of us want to keep reading and discussing books over the summer, starting mid-May.
One book that we're talking about is Empire of AI by Karen Hao.
If you were to join a summer book club, what book are you interested in discussing? Let us know if you have more suggestions by the end of April, and we'll give details soon after.
