Hi my name is Melissa and I have always been interested in math and science, so getting involved in SETI seemed like a good idea :) I also did it to help out the team at Anandtech, whose members have helped me a great deal in the last several months.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I think it's cool putting unused CPU's to work searching the skies.
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.
