CARL SAGAN CENTER for the study of life in the universe

Taking Flight!

This year was a very successful year for the Carl Sagan Center (CSC), and this impres- sive report is a reflection of your commitment to excellence: We are publishing in high profile journals; we are recognized leaders in our fields, and our work is being acknowl- edged regularly by our peers through prestigious honors and awards. We also share our passion of exploration and discovery with the public, and I am always amazed to see how the number of our public lectures often times surpass our professional presentations. That speaks volume about dedication. You are the best advocates of the Institute, and in a world where education is facing so many challenges, you are the voice of science and the keepers of the flame for the next generation.

This year also marked ’s Grand Finale. Many of you were involved with this prestigious mission, For all of us, the day Cassini plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere was bittersweet. However, as one mission ends, new ones are being readied (e.g., JWST, TESS, 2020, ExoMars, and others), and the SETI Institute is already present at various levels in these missions, and will be directly involved with these exciting new chapters of exploration.

When it comes to the inner workings of the CSC, this year brought a real improvement in our proposal success rate. During the retreat at Asilomar, I shared with you my con- cerns about the 2016 numbers, and together, we took a hard look at what could be im- proved. The Science Council took charge and went through a deep review and some soul searching to understand how to be more successful. As a result, there is now a process to help you with grant writing and proposal submission, and we will make sure to provide you all the support we can to keep the momentum going.

Meanwhile, you took charge too. I was delighted to see how you started to communicate with each other, review each other’s proposals whenever possible, asked for advice and for collaboration, and sometimes for instruments as well, within the SETI Institute

The SETI Institute: 189 N Bernardo Avenue Suite 200, Mountain View, CA 94043. Phone: (650) 961-6633 Annual Report 2017 Research, Education and Public Outreach community. This is really what it is all about: team work. Yes, we do sometimes compete against each other for the same grant money, and will continue to do so; but we are also learning to work together whenever possible, and in doing so, we are becoming stronger. The success of one is the success of all, and this is starting to pay dividend, literally. Since the retreat, we have received now over two third of the results for the 2017 proposal season. At this point in time, our success rate is above national average by a good margin. It is an average over all programs, and success is program-depen- dent. There are still areas that will require serious work but, overall, 2017 is turning out to be a very successful year, and you should be extremely proud of this.

Your engagement in the process is key to this success. It will be even more important in the coming months, as we are de- fining the strategic vision for the years to come, creating new opportunities for us all through new collaborations, and new ways of doing business. Your engagement with your Research Group Chairs and the Science Council will be key. Remem- ber, this is your Institute, and by being involved, you are making your voice heard, and help shape your own future. While I am here to steer and suggest, I am also – and more importantly – here to listen and help, and to implement your ideas to the best of my abilities.

As I always say: My door is always open, and I am also only one email away.

Indeed, there is a lot to be proud of this year, and we will celebrate all these successes together. While there is always prog- ress to be made, I certainly can say that this year saw us all starting to think as a unit, and working more with, and for, each other. Embarking on that path was critical, and you are making it happen.

I would like to end this letter by thanking all of those who are working behind the scene to make it all happen every single day in all departments of the Institute.

Thank you!

CENTER FOR EDUCATION

The 2017 Activity Report, a copious compendium of events and publications, is just the tip of the iceberg of the undertakings and efforts of the SETI Institute in the name of education and public engagement. Our day to day efforts, and incremental milestones are a significant part of our 2017 report. The Center for Education pillar programs, NASA Airborne Ambassadors (AAA) and Reaching for the Stars: NASA Science for Girl Scouts progressed through the kick-off, professional development, flight week experiences, and evaluation of the Cycle 6 AAA; and rounds of testing and revising Girl Scout Space Science Badges, as well as holding astronomy camps. Unique in 2017, Girl Scout Destination Camps on the path of eclipse totality, and Girl Scout Eclipse Boxes & Activity Guides were successful due to great collaboration with our Co-Investigators. We were fortunate to have the REU and FDL programs on site, and look forward to the energy those programs bring to us.

I offer my sincere gratitude to my Institute colleagues that embraced communication and collaboration across centers, that mentor students and life-long learners, that give public talks and that visit classrooms and libraries.

CENTER FOR OUTREACH

2017 was an amazing year in so many ways. At the SETI Institute, our more than 75 sci- entists and researchers have continued to advance the SETI Institute’s mission to explore, understand and explain the origin and nature of life in the universe, and the evolution of intelligence. As evidenced by this compendium of accomplishments they do this through world-class scientific research, in the field and in the lab, through collaboration with one another and with scientists at other institutions, through participation in major scientific conferences, meetings and committees and through publication in peer-reviewed scien- tific journals.

All this is only part of their contributions. At the SETI Institute’s Center for Outreach we believe that science is not just for scientists. Sharing our research and enthusiasm for scientific understanding has always been one of our goals. We seek not only to share our work, but to inform, inspire and empower the general public with a deeper understand- ing of science and its implications for humanity. For these reasons, our scientists are incredibly active in our outreach activities. These efforts include creating content for our website and social media, participating in our monthly public lecture series, SETI Talks, joining us for weekly Facebook Live discussions of their work, offering talks at schools and libraries, public events, astronomy clubs and other informal venues, making them- selves available to the media to discuss their work and answer questions, writing articles for our magazine, Explorer, and taking the time to not only explain their work but to put it into a context that clarifies why it matters.

At the Center for Outreach we are grateful not only to be working with a talented, ded- icated and accomplished team of scientists, but deeply appreciative of the many ways each and every one of them contribute to sharing the stories of their discoveries with the world. Who knows what 2018 will bring, but we do know we will be amazed.
