When Will We Find ET?
Summering Physics Undergrads:
This week's talk will be TOMORROW, Tuesday:
Dr. Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute
"When Will We Find ET?"
SETI is the serious Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, now a privately-funded Institute in Mountain View that is systematically searching the skies for artificially-generated extra-solar signals, both radio and optical. These are the serious scientists, not the X-Files/UFO crowd. Seth Sostak is Senior Astronomer at SETI, with a background in radio astronomy and is in the thick of The Search. You're in for a treat.
You can look up the SETI Institute at www.seti.org
