Dan Werthimer, Eric Korpela and I will be heading off to AbSciCon 2010 next week.
Dan's giving a *brand new* talk entitled When will earthlings find ET Should be interesting! Eric's presenting a poster on seti@home data analysis, and I'm presenting a poster describing some of our new SETI instrument architectures.
Soon universities and students all over the world will be able to conduct broad band (~100 MHz) high-resolution (~1 Hz) searches for radio signals from ETI for only a few thousand dollars. Open-source and relatively inexpensive optical SETI hardware will be available as well, permitting astronomers all over the globe to join the search for pulsed laser signals from ET.
