Microbial eccentricity: More-than-human creativity in anthropoeccentric worlds
By looking at the study of microbial metabolism in a molecular biology laboratory, this paper aims to explore how the agency attributed to microbes is built into scientific practice and discourse. I mobilize the word eccentric to unpack the creative, ingenious, and unconventional nature that is assumed of microbes. Because of their expected and yet always surprising chemical capabilities, microbes are understood not only as potentially dangerous …
Research repertoires and boundary work in the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (Seti)
The idea of scouting the sky in search of extra-terrestrial signals (SETI) was first proposed in the late 1950s; soon afterwards, its scope was formalised in the so-called Drake Equation, a probabilistic argument to gauge the number of 'civilisations' capable of radio communication on the basis of astronomical, biological and cultural factors. Since then, radio telescopes around the world have been searching for an artificial signal from elsewher…
The Shadow Biosphere Hypothesis: Non-knowledge in Emerging Disciplines
All life on Earth shares the same ancestor, the most primitive form of life that arose, in still unknown circumstances, more than 3.5 billion years ago. At least this is what is commonly assumed. Astrobiologists have revisited this assumption and advanced the hypothesis of the existence of a "shadow biosphere" on Earth: a parallel tree of life whose instances, being different at the molecular level to the kind of life we are used to, would remain…
