I currently work at a major Florida University helping out in research and in various other activities(mostly social science related). I have been an amateur astronomer for the past 23 years (started at age 9) and really enjoy observing and photographinc the sky. I currently hold a B.S. in Physics and aspire to continue on to a Ph.D in Physics in the next several years. I also am involved in the children's ministry (AWANA) at the First Baptist Church at the Mall in Lakeland, Fl. Currently got involve in the Einstein project via the gang at The Spaceport

Your opinions about Einstein@Home
It is great acually DOING astronomy instead of looking. I am very interested to see the papers that this project may produce. I will be keeping an eye on the Astrophysical Journal and Astronomical Journal for the results.
