Profile: Nick Aschbrenner

Personal background
I'm a geology major at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. I hail from Marshfield, Wisconsin -- which is like any other small midwestern town except for the fact that it has a large clinic. I like reading, writing, and running.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because of the scientific value of the project. Besides, SETI@home may be a precursor to using personal computers to perform lengthy and complicated computations in other fields as well. It would be tremendously wasteful to let all that computing power go to waste. I get annoyed when people tell me that extraterrestrial life doesn't exist because there's no way of knowing that unless we search. I see the value in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's famous lines "To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
