Like a lot of SETI@Home participants I was dismayed earlier this year that the Allen Telescope Array had lost funding and was shut down. A story on Space.com lifted our hearts: ATA is back online!
I'm sure lots of people pitched in to raise the $200,000 needed to operate the array through the end of this year. The story gives an extra-special shout out to Jodie Foster, who you recall played SETI scientist Dr. Ellie Arroway in the 1997 film "Contact".
On that note, I'd like to encourage anyone passing through this blog to sign up to analyzed parcels of radio data for signs of ET at SETI@Home. If you so wish, you are welcome to join the team for Citizen Science Works.
