I am from Michigan, Kalamazoo to be more specific. I am 19 years old born in November. I do not have a job. I study astrophysics, nuclear imaging and geophysics among other things. I first heard about SETI from Micheal Crichton's "Sphere" and got involved with the project in Early November 08.
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.
