Zusammenfassung:In the spirit of Trimble’s “Astrophysics in XXXX” series, I very briefly and subjectively review developments in SETI in 2020. My primary focus is 75 papers and books published or made public in 2020, which I sort into six broad categories: results from actual searches, new search methods and instrumentation, target and frequency selection, the development of technosignatures, theory of ETIs, and social aspects of SETI. •A subjective survey of nearly all of the literature in SETI in 2020.•A categorization of the kinds of papers in the field.•A look ahead to 2021.
