Invitation to ETI: H. Paul Shuch

Who We Are: H. Paul Shuch

Prof. H. Paul Shuch, FBIS FRCA FERAC, is a thrice-retired (recovering) academic who keeps falling off the wagon. He recently served as Visiting Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Lycoming College, Williamsport PA, as Visiting Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Heidelberg University of Applied Sciences, and now runs a small Sport Pilot flight school in Lock Haven, PA, USA. Over the past twenty years, he has built up The SETI League, its membership base, its web pages, and its search efforts conducted by dedicated amateurs. As a result, the SETI League is now the major international grass-roots force within the SETI field. Armed with an acoustical guitar and a PowerPoint projector, he has presented SETI talks to audiences all across the United States and in more than two dozen other countries on six continents. He "lives on a radio-quiet hilltop with his wife, and two of their seven recombinant DNA experiments." He flies his own airplane and wrote the lyrics for the songs in all three SETI League songbooks. In 2000 he composed the lyrics for an Invitation to ETI song, and is now pleased to serve as the Invitation to ETI Principal Investigator. Paul is a member of the International Academy of Astronautics, and co-chairs its SETI Permanent Committee.
