| Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home |
|---|
I am a member of Seti@home for several years. When Berkeley University presented the BOINC Project I decided to participate because I was actively involved in the past in the Environmental Protection, Risks and Safety activities in cooperation with the departments of French Ministries of Industry and Environment.
I actively participate in the BOINC Project especially in Climate Prediction. Several members of my family live in Florida, an area of USA well-known for its hurricanes and other climatic problems. |
