I work for the United Nations as an Information Security Officer/Investigator in Cambodia. I also use BOINC on a different computer to do science work on Earth through the IBM World Community Grid. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
My interest in SETI comes from watching Carl Sagan's Cosmos on PBS while growing up in Canada.
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.
