Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth
Avi Loeb
"I established the Galileo Project following my book Extraterrestrial. I got a lot of funding from private individuals who were inspired by the vision. The fact that scientists shy away from it––to me, that's inappropriate." More from Avi Loeb: https://t.co/jw2NQfyqjS

Be Antiracist: A Journal for Awareness, Reflection, and Action
Ibram X. Kendi
"One of the reasons why the critical race theory stuff is so incendiary on the right is because their argument is, "if you disagree, you're racist." Ibram Kendi's position is you have to be antiracist, and people like him get to define what antiracism means." https://t.co/XxbbjFAtuX

Interstellar: The Search for Extraterrestrial Life and Our Future in the Stars
Avi Loeb
