I'm a writer living in Philadelphia and attending graduate school.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
For me, participating in SETI@home is an important statement of biological politics. It represents the fact that I hold out hope for some species better than homo sapiens to exist in the universe.
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.
