This experience has led her to bring imagination to her work. With the help of a $25 million endowment from Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, she and the other SETI scientists are developing a new telescope array--a collection of up to 350 steerable dish antennas, electronically combined to do the work of a far bigger 115-meter antenna. An even more powerful dish array is being planned. The odds of finding anything are long...
