Please join in congratulating Jill Tarter, Director of the SETI Institute’s Center for SETI Research, and holder of the Bernard M. Oliver Chair for SETI, for her award of the prestigious TED Prize. The TED Prize, an initiative of the TED Conference, is awarded annually and grants three extraordinary individuals a wish to change the world, one hundred thousand dollars, and support in making the wish come true. Jill and the other two recipients, undersea exploration pioneer Sylvia Earle and economist, musician, and social reformer Maestro and Dr. Jose Antonio Abreu, will reveal their wishes at TED2009, “The Great Unveiling,” to be held February 3-8, 2009, in Long Beach, California, with a simulcast event in Palm Springs, California.
