SETI is indirectly mentioned...

Very indirectly. I assume you are referring to the mention of number crunchers.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

If you go to the Einstein@home home page, you'll find a description of how two volunteers have discovered a rare gamma-ray pulsar in the data of the FERMI gamma-ray space telescope. The discovery was submitted to the Astrophysical Journal Letters and has a huge number of authors, some of the staff of the Albert Einstein Institut of the Max Planck Gesellschaft in Hannover, directed by dr. Bruce Allen, head of the Einstein@home and Albert@home projects.
