Exploring Exoplanets (and Cats) with Dr. Lauren Sgro

What does it take to study worlds beyond our solar system—and how can everyday people help? In the premiere episode of Planetary Pandemonium, I'm joined by Dr. Lauren Sgro, who leads the exoplanets program for the Unistellar Citizen Science Network at the SETI Institute. We talk about how citizen scientists are helping uncover distant worlds, what excites her most about exoplanet research, and how science fiction continues to inspire real discovery. And of course—this wouldn't be Planetary Pandemonium without pets. Meet Zuul the pittie and Salem the bobtail black cat 🐾

Welcome to Planetary Pandemonium, where space science meets science fiction… with cats. In this Episode 0, host Beth Johnson introduces the show, shares what inspired it, and explains what you can expect from future episodes—conversations with planetary scientists about their work, the stories that shaped them, and yes, their pets. If you love space, sci-fi, and the humans behind the science, you're in the right place.
