Dr. Seth Shostak, the Senior Astronomer of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute, will address the Texas Astronomical Society meeting Friday night, March 28.
Dr. Seth Shostak photographed on his home planet, giving a customary lustful greeting.
The guest, Dr. Seth Shostak, 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.
The meeting, hosted by the Physics Department, is at 7:30 p.m in Kusch Auditorium in the Founders North building (FN 2.102). The public is invited, and admission is free.
The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.
The institute, founded in 1984, is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to scientific research, education and public outreach.
Shostak readily translates the most complex scientific discoveries into terms accessible to the non-scientist.
