In 2002, Turnbull developed the HabCat along with Jill Tarter,[4] a catalog of potentially habitable stellar systems. The following year Turnbull went on to further identify 30 particularly suitable stars from the 5,000 in the HabCat list that are within 100 light years of Earth.[5]
Turnbull's work has continued to be an integral component in the search for life in the universe[7] and she regularly contributes to the discussion on how life is defined and strategies for its detection.[8] Her previous work on target selection with the HabCat list and expertise with coronagraphs have made her an important advocate for direct exoplanet imaging missions, and she served as Science Team Leader for the New Worlds Mission.[9] In 2016, Turnbull became a leader of a Science Investigation Team for the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (renamed the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope), which is simulating mission data and selecting targets for the direct imaging exoplanet searches. In 2017, Turnbull worked with Stephen Kane to place constraints on the mass of Proxima Centauri b, the nearest exoplanet to the Solar System.[10]
In 2018, Turnbull ran for the office of Governor of Wisconsin as an independent, along with running mate Wil Losch.[12] Turnbull received 18,779 votes (0.7%),[13] and finished in fourth place.[14]
