Join us September 29th for our next Full Moon-th Meetup where we’ll chat with Bill Diamond – president and CEO of the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization seeking to understand the origins and prevalence of life and intelligence in the universe and share that knowledge with the world.
Our tradition of hosting online meetups with our Sacred Space Astronomy members and the Vatican Observatory staff, scholars and friends during the Full Moon in Tucson (or thereabout) continues on Friday September 29th at 12:00 Noon ET (9:00 AM Tucson time). This meetup is a perk for our Sacred Space Astronomy subscribers- you get to chat with each other, and astronomers and scientists from the Vatican Observatory!
We’ll also have the latest astronomy news and an update about the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope*.
Bill Diamond is President and CEO of the SETI Institute, which he joined in 2015. He has worked predominantly in applied technologies with over 20 years’ experience in photonics and optical communications, and more than a decade in X-ray and semiconductor processing technologies. His corporate background spans the spectrum from venture-backed start-ups to Fortune 100 multinationals, with responsibilities ranging from R&D, engineering and operations, to sales, marketing, product management, and CEO positions.
Bill is also a proud product of Jesuit education! He holds a B.A. in Physics from Holy Cross College and a Master’s in Business Administration from Georgetown University. He is a past member of the Advisory Board for the McDonough School of Business Administration at Georgetown and is a current member of the Optical Society of America and the International Astronomical Congress.
SETI stands for the “Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.”
The institute consists of three primary centers: The Carl Sagan Center, devoted to the study of life in the universe; the Center for Education, focused on astronomy, astrobiology and space science for students and educators; and the Center for Public Outreach, which produces “Big Picture Science“, the institute’s general science radio show and podcast, and “SETI Talks”, its weekly colloquium series. – Wikipedia
