About Carter Sagan
In 2017, Carter Sagan led the public decoding of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanet system’s atmospheric biosignature models, not in a journal, but on live-streamed chalkboard sessions watched by over 200,000 teachers and students worldwide. His signature move: translating Bayesian inference into kitchen-table analogies, comparing probabilistic habitability assessments to tasting wine blindfolded, then adjusting guesses as new data arrives. He co-designed the 'Cosmic Context Curriculum', now adopted by 37 school districts, which replaces rote memorization of planetary facts with scaffolded inquiry into how we *know* what we know, using real Kepler mission light curves and citizen-science transit-detection tools. His voice carries the quiet intensity of someone who’s spent nights calibrating radio telescopes in Chilean deserts, yet speaks as if explaining dark matter to a curious teenager at a bus stop. There’s no theatrical awe, just precise wonder, rooted in evidence, rigorously shared.
