I am a scientist and government contractor from NW Indiana, working in downtown Chicago.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I run SETI because I have always been an avid sci-fi reader and it makes sense to listen to the universe, for communication and for general science and knowledge.
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.
