Personal background
Hi! I'm Aleks from Argentina and I'd was joined with the SETI Project on the early days, but some events on the past drive me to lost my account settings... For almost 13 years I'd been far away from the project, but some time ago I found some data of my old SETI account on a lost 2GB HD recovered from an old-things box.

So big surprise! I'm coming back to the project to continue colaborating on the effort to discover a WOW! signal that could make it a milestone on the history of the humanity...

My first approach to space science was did with the original program of Cosmos leaded by Carl Sagan... as a young kid, I'd discovered the universe through him so since this time I'd been fascinated on how small we are, how vast is the whole universe and how much stars and galaxies has it, so the question "Are we alone on the universe?" was the main reason to be a fan of the space science.

On the high school I'd choose an industrial education, oriented to electronics in order to learn about telecommunications to finally to be a radiotelescope´s technician. Things of the life, I'd choose an Information Systems Engineering career instead of Electronics Engineer.

When the internet had become popular in our country, I'd started to search all about space, so when I'd noticed about the SETI Project I joined inmediately...

This is my little history about how I joined this amazing project...

"Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact." -Carl Sagan- Cosmos

"For as long as there been humans we have searched for our place in the cosmos. Where are we? Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a hum-drum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. This perspective is a courageous continuation of our penchant for constructing and testing mental models of the skies; the Sun as a red-hot stone, the stars as a celestial flame, the Galaxy as the backbone of night. " -Carl Sagan- Cosmos

"The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent to the concerns of such puny creatures as we are." -Carl Sagan- Cosmos
