ADOPT A SCIENTIST PROGRAM



SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is running a program called "Adopt A Scientist" which aims at raising funds for the organization to enable it carry out more research.

Adopt a SETI Institute scientist and become part of the adventure. Each scientist offers a compelling journey of discovery. When you adopt a scientist, you help lead the way toward answering profound questions about our place in the universe. Whichever scientist you choose, you'll take part in making history.

The SETI Institute's Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe and the Center for SETI Research are home to more than 90 scientists. Their work covers a broad spectrum of research dedicated to understanding the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe. In an effort to ensure this vital research continues to prosper, we invite you to make a direct contribution to support research.

You can form a one-on-one relationship and participate in the process of ground-breaking science with any number of our Institute’s PIs. You may choose to support a scientist investigating Martian analogs in California’s del Puerto Canyon or select a PI planning to take the Mineral Identification Composition Analyzer instrument into the desert to simulate a Mars landing. Yes, you may even choose one of our scientists working directly on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Whichever scientist you choose, you’ll be part of the adventure!

ABOUT SETI
SETI is the collective name for a number of activities to detect intelligent extraterrestrial life. The general approach of SETI projects is to survey the sky to detect the existence of transmissions from a civilization on a distant planet – an approach widely endorsed by the scientific community as hard science.

The United States Government contributed to SETI early on, but recent work has been primarily funded by private sources.
