1. “Thanks, Frank. I got to Stanford a long time ago because of my interest in the SETI project. We had been developing high performance spectroscopy in radio systems for looking at pulsars in small observatory Dudley Observatory in the east in Schonnected New York has a postdoc there. And one of the applications of this spectroscopy was looking for alien signals on the sky.”

2. “So, I'm sitting at home and it was July of 2015 when all of the amazing pictures were coming back from New Horizons. And I'm having a bunch of Wi-Fi problems at home. And I'm thinking to myself, here we are. There's a probe billions and billions of miles away that's sending photos. And I have this huge Wi-Fi dead spot at home. Like, what is going on? And as it turned out a couple of weeks later, I was talking with the fabulous Teresa Johnson. Shout out to Teresa, who is now a data scientist at Pinterest, but she studied with Professor Lynn Scott. And she's like, oh, I know the guy who helped design that system. Let me introduce you. And so I got introduced to Ivan, and he started telling me stories about the design process and the mission. And it was just so fascinating that I was convinced that you would be excited to hear Ivan's stories. And so here we are.”
