"We're at the edge of a new era in astrobiology. We've never had more data or more computing power. Now is the moment to bring it all together and finally ask—and maybe answer—the biggest question of all: Are we alone?" -Michael Wong (@miquai.bsky.social)

Are we alone in the universe? A new $5 million NASA-funded project co-led by Carnegie’s Michael Wong and NASA’s Caleb Scharf will train A.I. on a vast planetary dataset to recognize signs of life and…
The project’s findings will help NASA choose the right tools for future missions to Mars, icy moons & beyond—making the search for life more effective.
The team plans to analyze 1,000+ samples—from meteorites to fossils to living organisms—to build a massive open dataset. By training A.I. on these chemical & molecular signatures, scientists hope to reliably tell life from non-life. #OpenData #Astrobiology
Carnegie's Michael Wong & NASA's Caleb Scharf are co-leading a new $5M NASA-funded project aimed at training A.I. to recognize signs of life in planetary data.

The kickoff #TIMESworkshop hosted by Carnegie's Jennifer Kasbohm wraps today—but we’re just getting started!
With new collaborations, clear priorities & a 5-year roadmap, this global team is ready to turn 100M years of climate history into a unified timeline.
Stay tuned to see what comes next!
To conclude the day, working groups reported on discussions centered on various time intervals and strategized how they would build on relationships and research opportunities over the next several years. #TIMESworkshop
Day 2 of #TIMESworkshop is underway with a talk from Elisabetta Erba (University of Milan, International Commission on Stratigraphy).
Thanks to virtual + in-person participation, this is truly global collaboration in action.
The idea for TIMES originated with Thomas Westerhold (University of Bremen). He's speaking to the cohort now about defining the timeline and scientific plan for this decadal effort. #TIMESworkshop
Information organization & access are key for comparing data from unique tools and methods.
The morning wrapped with sessions on the databases & strategies #TIMESworkshop participants may use to achieve their scientific goals over the next 5 years.
