Greetings from Germany! I am a female, 58-year-old specialist in gynecology and obstetrics. In addition to medicine and related disciplines I have always been interested in many sciences, from archeology to zoology, from astronomy to particle physics. I am pleased to learn about a variety of research projects by Distributed Computing and to be able to make a tiny contribution to them.
But of course all started many years ago with SETI@home... :D
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.
