Trained as a quantum mechanic, Dr. Gerry Harp was deeply interested in possibilities for using the multiple telescopes
of the Allen Telescope Array to generate steerable "beams" on the sky – beams that could be far smaller than any single antenna
could produce. Such beams don't emit anything, but work in reverse by capturing only energy that comes from the sky in a certain
direction. Gerry joined the SETI Institute in 2000, practically at the telescope's inception and uses the telescope for SETI research.

In a recent conversation with the SETI Institute's Dr. Frank Drake, we discussed the last 50 years of SETI research. Watch as Frank describes his experience when he believed he discovered a sign of intelligent life in the universe!

Exploring may mean a number of different things for each of us but I argue that we all do it for the same reasons, whether those are reasoned or subconscious, and that the fundamentals of why we do explore have been the same since the dawn of life on our planet. My perspective stems from a passion for exploration, for leaving, breathing and imagining it every day of my life and dreaming about it at night.
