| Breakthrough Listen: jump-starting SETI research |
| by Lee Spitler (Macquarie Uni / AAO) |
| Abstract. I'll share my recent
experience sitting in on the advisory committee meeting for Breakthrough
Listen - a $100 million initiative to fund SETI research over the next
10 years. This will be an informal talk about SETI, the planned Breakthrough
Listen projects and opportunities for participating in the future. I'll
focus mostly on new ideas for optical SETI, including some interesting
instrumentation concepts.
