Profile: Connie Durand

Personal background
I'm a recent graduate from the University of Phoenix-Lone Tree, Colorado now living in Scottsdale, Arizona. I am currently employed by temporary agencies.

I love to explore space, love new technologies and appreciate God's beauty in nature.

I'm an amateur astronomist and star-gazer.

I love to hike, read, sew, cross-stitch and take evening walks.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home to provide extra computer-powered systems to process their reams of data streams.

My views are the the project has been invaluable in providing further knowledge and identification on existing quasars, pulsars, radio-gravimetric sources/disturbances, idenfication of black holes and other naturally-occuring phenomenon in space.

Whether or not SETI@home or the SETI project, in general, has been successful in its original intent, is not important. What is important, is that SETI has provided the most comprehensive, complete and distict mapping of the star systems, their galaxies and our neighboring quasars, pulsars and black holes.

SETI@home has also provided numerous amateur astronomists to get together to exchange findings, questions, group discussions and simply to meet each other.

I believe that SETI@home and the SETI projects have more than paid for themselves in community development, assurance, scientific breakthroughs and in understanding and education of the galaxies and our own Milky Way system.
