I am a Senior Analyst with the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I have been working with Seti@Home since 1999.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe ET exists, but in what form, I am not sure. I hope that there will be a discovery in my lifetime as I think it would lead to a leap in scientific discovery.
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.
