At the SETI Institute, there are more than 100 of us leading humanity’s question to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and sharing that knowledge with the world.  They are conducting world-class scientific research on Earth, the solar system and beyond. Our education programs are fostering the next generation of scientists, explorers, educators and storytellers, and focusing on creating impact on communities with less access to scientific and educational resources. And our outreach efforts reach millions of people with stories of discovery.
