I live in Southern California and work as an Electron Microscopist
(a micronaut, an explorer of the nanocosm of the cell). My background
is primarily in biology though my current position involves some material
science applications. I am a long time sci-fi fan, a fern hobbyist and a bagpiper.
I was involved in amateur astronomy in my younger days.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I believe that life is abundant in the universe, not necessarily intelligent
life but life. Life as we understand it and possibly life as we don’t
understand it. I do believe there is a possibility of intelligent life out
there somewhere.
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.
