Frank Drake Award Ceremonies

Join us on to celebrate SETI pioneer, Dr. Shelley Wright, as she receives the 2022 Drake Award. Dr. Wright leads the Center for Astrophysics & Space Sciences, University of California, San Diego. She is the principal investigator on NIROSETI, an instrument designed to detect infrared laser pulses that could originate from distant advanced civilizations.

Celebrate Dr. Wright together with winners of the SETI Forward Award for undergraduates and the Carl Sagan Center Director’s Award - an incredible set of individuals who have and will advance our understanding of life in the universe. The Drake Award will be held in person at the SRI International Headquarters in Menlo Park, CA, or online from wherever you live.
