Late forties, Central computing director for a university. Used to work at JPL during the Viking and Voyager era and always had a strong interest in the space program.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
Here the interest is more on the massively distributed nature of the project than any results.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
