Ne uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d ebate!)

From microscopic particles in matter to human minds on the internet\, these interactions can produce remarkable examples of “em ergence”\, or complex behavior that cannot be predicted from individual parts.\nPhysicists remain deeply puzzled by emergence\, as it produces rem arkable properties observed in some materials. The mystery extends beyond physics to the rise of life\, the existence of consciousness\, and even th e spread of internet memes. In this lecture\, Roger Melko will follow comm on threads connecting these phenomena to the most striking recent example of emergence\, artificial intelligence.\nAI may itself offer new tools for unravelling the mysteries of emergence. Melko will describe how we are al ready using it to understand and control complex quantum systems\, includi ng quantum computers. Finally\, he will ask whether a deeper understanding of hierarchies of emergence could allow us to harness it as a scientific and technological resource.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nRoger Melko is a theore tical physicist at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He earned his PhD from UCSB\, where he studied co mputational approaches to quantum matter.

Ne uschatz\nDr. Jeffrey Neuschatz \nI am Dr. Jeffrey S. Neuschatz\, a cogniti ve psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of memory\, percep tion\, and the law. I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi deo games. (Fun fact: the makers of Grand Theft Auto IV even named a car a fter me—the “Karin Dilettante”—a cheeky nod to the media effects d ebate!)

The program will feature Ch ris Ragland\, founder and executive director of Sea League\, for a thought -provoking talk on ocean access\, stewardship\, and the importance of buil ding meaningful connections between coastal communities and the marine env ironments that surround them on Thursday\, September 17\, 2026\, at 7:00 p .m. at the museum. SBMM members are invited to a pre-lecture reception fro m 6:15–6:45 p.m. \nTickets: Free for Navigators Circle members\, $10 for SBMM members\, $20 for the general public\, and $5 for students and educa tors with valid school ID or email. For reservations\, visit sbmm.org\, em ail reservations@sbmm.org\, or call (805) 456-8750. \nRegister Today \nIn his presentation\, Ragland will explore the idea that nature connection sh ould be treated not simply as a charitable cause\, but as essential public infrastructure. Drawing on Sea League’s work creating immersive ocean e xperiences that cross economic lines and bridge neighborhoods\, he will ex amine how direct connection to the sea can cultivate future stewards\, sci entists\, entrepreneurs\, and the workforce needed for a thriving blue eco nomy. \nThe talk will focus on the Santa Barbara Channel as one of the mos t ecologically significant marine environments on the planet\, while also highlighting the reality that many people living along the surrounding coa stline have never meaningfully experienced it. Ragland will discuss what i s possible when ocean fluency is built at scale and how that vision could strengthen marine conservation\, workforce development\, community resilie nce\, and the long-term health of the coastlines on which society depends. \n“There is no institutional infrastructure that normalizes ocean immer sion for coastal communities\,” said Ragland. “This fragmented familia rity produces fragmented stewardship. You can’t build a coalition broad enough to protect something that most of your community has never had the chance to experience.” \nChris Ragland is the founder and executive dire ctor of Sea League\, a Santa Barbara organization innovating how youth con nect to the ocean. A waterman-turned-social entrepreneur\, he brings toget her a decade of experience as a surf coach\, lifeguard\, and kayak guide i n Channel Islands National Park with leadership in environmental advocacy and public engagement. As Creative Director at FinalStraw\, he helped adva nce efforts that eliminated 300 million single-use straws. He has also col laborated with NOAA and California’s Ocean Protection Council on public engagement and served on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Adv isory Council. \n“Chris Ragland brings an inspiring and necessary perspe ctive to the conversation about the future of our coast\,” said SBMM Exe cutive Director Dean Noble. “His work challenges us to think differently about who has access to the ocean\, why that matters\, and how those conn ections shape the next generation of marine stewards.” \nThrough the Mar itime Distinguished Speaker Series\, SBMM continues to bring leading voice s in ocean science\, maritime history\, conservation\, and coastal culture to the Santa Barbara community\, reinforcing the museum’s mission to il luminate our rich connections with the sea through education and storytell ing.

There are ma ny pitfalls that most non-profits have no idea exist. Most do not have ded icated HR full-time professionals\, and even if they do\, there are still issues that slip through the cracks. \nIn this interactive session\, we wi ll explore some of the blind spots and common supervisory mistakes that ca n create liability for your nonprofit organization and the steps you can t ake to address them. Among the items we will examine: \nHas your nonprofit properly categorized its workers as salaried exempt or hourly nonexempt? You may be surprised at the rules.\nWhen you want to revise employee job d escriptions and roles\, how much can a role change before it becomes a new position? How should you be documenting it?\nIs your organization observi ng meals and rest breaks correctly with proper documentation?\nIf employee s are using their personal equipment (cell phone\, tablet\, computer\, hom e Internet\, home electricity) on behalf of the organization\, are you pro perly reimbursing them?\nDo your pay stubs comply with very specific Calif ornia law? (Don’t rely exclusively on your payroll service)\nAre you rou nding time for your hourly people?\nWhen you have a big event\, do you let your hourly people take time off at different times?\nHow are you managin g paid time off (PTO)\, vacation and sick time\, which tend to be more gen erous in the nonprofit world?\nThese and many other questions will be answ ered during this seminar targeted expressly for nonprofit organizations\, large and small. Come with your real-world questions\, as we will create a mple time for Q&A. \nFacilitated by: Jon Light\nAs the managing partner at LightGabler LLP\, Jon and his team consult with over 6\,000 companies acr oss California on their day-to-day employment law needs.

Its success was made possi ble in part by the extensive collection of protein structures that biologi sts have openly shared in the Protein Data Bank since 1971. AlphaFold demo nstrates how research shared today can enable discoveries that its creator s may never have anticipated.\n\nDrawing on his experiences as a structura l biologist\, Dr. Fraser will explore what it means to practice open scien ce as new technologies reshape how research is conducted and shared. He wi ll discuss how data increasingly have both human and machine audiences\, a s well as the debate over the missing AlphaFold3 code. Dr. Fraser will als o reflect on the research questions he chooses to tackle because AI still cannot solve them\, and why reviewing the work of others is one of the bes t ways to learn how to become a scientist.\n\nSpeaker Bio\nDr. James Frase r is the Ernest L. Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengin eering and Therapeutic Sciences at UC San Francisco (UCSF). He received hi s PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and was an EMBO Short -Term Fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel before beginni ng his independent research career at UCSF.\n\nDr. Fraser’s research exp lores how proteins move and change shape — and how these dynamics influe nce their biological functions. His lab combines experimental and computat ional approaches to reveal the different structures proteins can adopt and to understand how they respond to chemical\, genetic\, and physical chang es. This work bridges structural biology\, biophysics\, protein engineerin g\, and drug discovery\, with implications across a range of therapeutic a reas. Dr. Fraser’s contributions have been recognized with numerous awar ds and honors\, including the Carl Brändén Award from the Protein Societ y (2025)\, the inaugural W.H. & W.L. Bragg Prize from the International Un ion of Crystallography (2020)\, and an NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (2011). He was also named to Forbes magazine’s “30 Under 30” list of rising stars in science and innovation (2011).\n\nAs a leader and active practitioner of open science\, Dr. Fraser has worked to advance mor e open\, transparent\, and collaborative approaches to conducting and comm unicating research. His lab puts these principles into practice by openly sharing research outputs\, including preprints\, protocols\, data\, and co de. For 7 years\, Dr. Fraser served on the board of ASAPbio\, a nonprofit working to promote innovation and transparency in life science communicati on. He is also a proponent for open peer review\, including collaborativel y reviewing preprints with his trainees and sharing those reviews publicly through PREreview. His commitment to open science extends to how research and researchers are evaluated\, including advocating for hiring and promo tion practices aligned with the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).\n\nEvent logistics\nThis event may be photographed or r ecorded.\nAdvance registration is recommended as space is limited (Registe r Now!)

The network of se ven protected wildlands serves as a living laboratory where scientists\, s tudents\, and conservation partners study the natural world and develop ne w approaches to understanding and protecting it. \nDuring the presentation \, Philson will offer an inside look at the Natural Reserve System—what it is\, how it developed\, and why its protected sites\, research programs \, and educational opportunities are increasingly important. \nDrawing fro m a portfolio of more than 270 active research projects\, Philson will hig hlight discoveries spanning ecology\, evolution\, climate science\, marine biology\, and related fields. Topics will include rare species recovery\, long-term climate monitoring\, and collaborative research that helps scie ntists better understand the ecosystems supporting clean air\, water\, foo d\, wildlife\, and human communities. \nThe program will also explore the reserves’ vital role as classrooms without walls. Through field-based\, experiential learning\, students gain direct exposure to ecosystems and sc ientific methods in ways that cannot be replicated in a traditional lectur e hall. \n“Conner brings a leading perspective on what it means to condu ct research and learn in California’s wildest and most distinctive ecosy stems\,” said Executive Director of SBMM Dean Noble. “His work directi ng the UCSB Natural Reserve System reflects the kind of partnership among science\, education\, and land stewardship that is essential to understand ing and conserving the ecosystems on which we all depend.” \nPhilson is driven by advancing discovery and connection in the natural world through protected wild places and field-based science and education. As Executive Director of the Natural Reserve System at UC Santa Barbara\, he oversees a network of protected lands and field laboratories supporting research\, t eaching\, and conservation across California’s diverse ecosystems. \nHe earned his PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from UCLA\, where he st udied the social behavior of wild mammals at field sites around the world. Philson also serves as President of the Organization of Biological Field Stations\, a global network of field research laboratories. \nWhether atte ndees are longtime Santa Barbara residents\, students\, educators\, or sim ply curious about the natural world\, the presentation will offer a deeper appreciation for the wild spaces and living laboratories advancing scienc e\, education\, and conservation throughout the region. \nEvent Details\nD ate: October 15\, 2026\nTime: 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.\nLocation: Santa Bar bara Maritime Museum\, 113 Harbor Way\, Santa Barbara\nTickets: Free for N avigators Circle members\, $10 for SBMM members\, $20 for the general publ ic\, and $5 for students and educators with valid school ID or email.

I hold a BA in Psychology from Roger Williams Universi ty\, an MA in General Experimental Psychology from SUNY Cortland\, and a P hD in Cognitive Psychology from Binghamton University. Before joining the Applied Psychological Science program at Fielding\, I was a faculty member in the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Department of Psychology . During my tenure at UAH\, I advanced to become a Distinguished Professor and\, in 2022\, received the King-McDonald Eminent Scholars Professorship in Psychology. \nI’ve published over 75 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters\, including notable authored volumes such as The Psychol ogy of Eyewitness Identification (2012) and Hugo Münsterberg’s Psycholo gy and Law: A Historical and Contemporary Assessment (2019). In 2022\, my co-author\, Jonathan Golding\, and I published “Jailhouse Informants: Ps ychological and Legal Perspectives\,” addressing how informant testimony can impact verdicts and contribute to wrongful convictions. I also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Psychology\, Crime & Law. \nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford\nDr. Karen Dill Shackleford \nI am Dr. K aren Dill Shackleford\, a social psychologist who explores how we\, as hum ans\, use stories and media to understand ourselves and the world around u s. My passion lies in studying how fictional narratives—like TV shows\, books\, and games—help shape our identities\, beliefs\, and sense of bel onging. I’m especially interested in fandom\, race and gender representa tion\, and the powerful role of media in promoting (or challenging) social justice. \nI lead the Entertainment Psychology Lab where we actively enga ge in qualitative and quantitative research on  a diversity of topics inc luding why we repeatedly watch the same television show and how it feels w hen a TV theme song takes us on a nostalgic journey. \nMy PhD is from the University of Missouri-Columbia\, where my dissertation on media violence became one of the most cited in the field. Over the years\, I’ve testifi ed before Congress about media violence and misogyny in music\, and I’ve collaborated with the APA to help shape national policy on violence in vi deo games.
