A year in review...

This has been my first full calendar year as head of the Carl Sagan Center. In that timeframe, I have come to know all of you better, and I have to say that I am in complete awe. What you are accomplishing every day is simply extraordinary, especially in the currently difficult budgetary landscape.

Whether in the lab, from space- or ground-based observations, in terrestrial extreme environments, in the classroom with children and students, or as part of space and planetary missions, if it is about searching for life beyond Earth and sharing a passion for knowledge, you are involved front and center. Through your work, you are making the SETI Institute a highly respected, world leading research institution. Read the annual report here
