Dr. Seth Shostak, SETI Astronomer at UTD

Dr. Seth Shostak, the Senior Astronomer of the SETI (SETI is short for Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, will address the Texas Astronomical Society on March 28th, 2008 at 7:30pm. There is no cost for this event, and the public is invited. The meeting will be hosted by the University of Texas at Dallas Physics Department in UTD’s Kusch Auditorium in the Founders North building (FN 2.102).

Shostak readily translates the most complex scientific discoveries into terms accessible to the non-scientist. He has written hundreds of articles for newspapers, magazines, and the SPACE.com web site, as well as three books, including a popular textbook on astrobiology. Founded in 1984, the SETI Institute is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach. The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.
