I am from Coldwater, MI, USA. I am currently in college studying computer networking technology and have always had an interest in anything to do with outer space.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI@home because I do not have much knowledge to directly contribute to research. Running this makes me feel like I am contributing. I do plan to study astrophysics or biology after I have my degree, but mostly for hobby and to continue learning.
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.
