I'm one of the few middle aged ladies who take an interest in SETI. I'm also one of the few who don't really think there is intelligent life anywhere else in the universe. I believe we are unique and the set of circumstances that led to us being here cannot be reproduced. Perhaps SETI will prove me wrong. I graduated with a degree in physics and maths in 1999 and now work in an office. My interests are dog agility and mucking about with computers.
