Lots of people have left Seti already and some have gone to Folding@home because they are using Nvidia gpu's and any cpu brand to help research the COVID-19 virus. IF you go there it's a bit slow to get the first workunits as it is VERY VERY busy.
It's a bit annoying to learn just how many non-outrage-Tuesdays I've missed *scowl*
Toasting marshmallows in each others' hair was enormously relaxing.
I think it was disgusting that the Project that touted itself as the 'best' of everything and in every way had to shut down every Tuesday anyway!! I for one am not sorry they are gone, I left a long time ago for other reasons! BUT I will miss the loss of knowledge that the other Boinc Projects will no longer have access too.
"This is the first report of a protein from any extraterrestrial source"
Now that's a quiet understatement. How fascinating. I think the import of this will not hit home, what with the current distractions of the day, until :
(a) it is believed as a physical finding ( probably by confirmation from another source ), and
(b) add in that carbon/oxygen/nitrogen/lithium/iron are all downhill from the nuclear physics of stars, and
(c) life is downhill to those elements, so
(d) this hemolithin ( plus others like it yet to be found ) might be the grand-parentbig-number of us all.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ..... indeed !!
Cheers, Mike.

Not exactly intelligence but something to show that the search might not be in vain.
