For centuries, humanity has been asking itself the question if we are alone in this universe. There are many legends about it. For scientists, looking for signs of life in space is a challenge — made even more difficult because we still don’t have enough knowledge and technology to accurately explore the near corners of the solar system. At the same time, researchers realize that “experts from other planets” may look very different from science fiction movies, and may transcend the human definition of life.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music.

A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
