	Dr. Jill Tarter Honored, UFO Casebook Files
		Tarter has devoted her life to the science of detecting intelligent, technological civilizations through searches of the electromagnetic (radio and now optical) spectrum, a discipline within the growing field of astrobiology.
		Earlier this year, Tarter oversaw the completion of the Institute’s privately funded Project Phoenix and the release of Voyages Through Time, an integrated science curriculum for high school students, developed by the Institute’s education department and its partners.
		Tarter is currently the project leader of the Allen Telescope Array, the Institute’s innovative, next-generation radio telescope that will come on line with 32 dishes late in 2004.

	Dr. Jill Tarter: Looking to Make 'Contact'
		Tarter, the woman upon whom Jodie Foster's character in the movie Contact was largely based, began studying theoretical physics after noting how dull her engineering professors were.
		When asked what it is she hopes to find, Tarter explains that, because of the time involved to travel the vast distances of space, any information that might arrive here from other worlds would have come from a time prior to our own.
		Tarter sees her work as a basis for study that could easily continue through multiple generations before any conclusive proof of life elsewhere, or its lack, can be established.

		Slow, steady science is the hardest to fund and organize, but Jill Tarter has been working on the question for 30 years and the SETI Institute (which she co-founded) for 20 years.
		Jill Tarter holds the Bernard Oliver chair and directs the Center for SETI Research at the SETI Institute in Mountain View.
		Jill's catalog of search technology to come (she's a self-confessed hardware geek) had a piece of stunning news, at least to me. If computation keeps getting better and our radio-telescopy keeps improving, we should know by 2040 whether or not there's anyone out there, at least in our galaxy.
