excerpt from my daily mail feature: Mia Belle Parkinson, a PhD candidate at the UK Centre for Astrobiology, told Daily Mail: 'It's easy to think about intelligent alien beings that look and sound like us. 'However, this would not be the case at all. What if these beings evolved on a world completely dissimilar to ours?' Just as life at the bottom of the ocean has evolved to flash messages to each other with bioluminescence, aliens might have evolved with different means of communication. Mrs Parkinson adds: 'I think we shouldn't discount anything because the only example of life we have is Earth. And what if Earth truly is unique?' So, in a scientifically accurate movie, Emily Blunt would be just as likely to start flashing a torch about or releasing noxious chemicals as to start chatting away.

Thrilled to see some of my thoughts on extraterrestrial evolution featured in the Daily Mail today! I talked about how "scientifically accurate" #aliens might communicate, and why we need to broaden our perspective on what "life" might look like on other worlds. 👽
