I am a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nebraska--Lincoln. I am currently working on my Ph.D. I've been doing the seti thing for probably 5 years or so now (off and on) as my hardware allows.
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.
