Any significance to a guy from SETI being in the conference?

Could be something to do with the Stephen Hawking announcement of lots of money going towards SETI? Perhaps Kepler/NASA is announcing what they're doing as part of that.

Or, you know, aliens have contacted us. But probably the Hawking thing.

It must be hard to be associated with SETI.

"911, what's the nature of your emergency?"

"Well, we're here at the SETI Institute, and -"

"What, SETI? Are they here? What should we send? All of it?"
