| Personal background |
|---|
Born and raised in Salem, Massachusetts and now living in Palm Harbor, Florida.
I'm 40 years old and have left the IT industry to return to college to "correct" a longtime regretted mistake that I never entered nursing school from the beginning when I first entered college. Now I'm fulfilling that desire and have made a radical change in careers. I now work at Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater, Florida.
I have always had a fascination for space and astronomy, mostly limited to the Discovery channel, Nova, and public educational programs. The information that we currently have both astonishes and fascinates me immensely.
I hope I can be of service.

| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |

How can extraterrestrial life not exist? It would be both arrogant and naive to believe that it does not exist in an infinite universe.
I do think we ought to be very careful to find out the source first and we shouldn't "assume" that everyone is like us or as "friendly" as we are!
We are in the midst of a war on terrorism and who knows what other worlds are experiencing. To be more optomistic, however, we wouldn't want to scare off an extremely trusting and gentle society that might be threatened or startled by us. We should also consider that they might be far more advanced technologically speaking, and might be willing to share beneficial discoveries and technologies with us.
I think it would be extremely ignorant to not explore any opportunities to find out if we do, in fact, have any "neighbors" that we could be friendly with. They could also help us in all kinds of areas such as healthcare, transportation, and the list would go on and on. We could also help and far less advanced civilization, but in my opinion I don't think this is the case. |
