I have a very amateur-level understanding of astronomy and astrophysics, but that doesn't reduce my awe of everything sky-science, like SETI. I live in rural Western Massachusetts, primary hobbies: road cycling, marine aquariums, Eastern Way.
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.
