My name is Bret Little and I am an Physics Astronomy major at Brigham Young University. I also run www.visination.com. I run SETI@home because I undoubtably believe that there are other people out there, and I figure might as well supply my computing power to help prove that fact.
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.
