Science Searches for E.T.

Seth is a Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View. SETI stands for "Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence". SETI is a non-profit research organization whose mission is to lead humanity's quest to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world.

Seth developed an interest in extraterrestrial life at the tender age of ten, when he first picked up a book about the Solar System. This innocent beginning eventually led to a degree in radio astronomy, and now to his work at SETI.
