Profile: Elaine Albertson, MA

Personal background
I'm a behavioral scientist living on Kaua'i Island, on the far west end of the Hawai'ian chain, at the far west end of the island in a little village called Waimea. I administer a nonprofit called Na Mana Ola Hou ("regaining our spiritual power") that specializes in high-tech support, education, and research in the transpersonal behavioral sciences for the public benefit both locally and globally. I also work in fine art reproduction, landscape photography, and similar efforts. I'm almost finished with a PhD in tranpersonal psychology with Saybrook Research Center. When (and if) I have free time I usually spend it in the Na Pali wilderness or Waimea Canyon, or on the ocean.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I've been running SAH since late 1999, but lost my original credits and file when I switched e-mail addresses and didn't read instructions ;-) Would have had over 10K WUs by now...but I don't think that is what's important. I do science for the sake of exploring new frontiers. I've lived my whole life (I was born the year Israel became a nation...you'll have to figure it out from there) on the leading edge. It's the only place to be. Most of us who work in cosmology/philosophy/transpersonal psych realize that we cannot be alone, sitting here on the blue marble with no playmates in the neighborhood. SETI is the brightest and best hope of first contact, other than "them" knocking on our door in a slightly more direct manner. Anything one person, or a group of persons, can do to help further the science involved is worthwhile.
