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.

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.

Prien Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences\, UCSF.\n\nDescription\nIn 2020\, AlphaFold transform ed the field of structural biology by using artificial intelligence (AI) t o solve a problem researchers had worked on for over fifty years: predicti ng the three-dimensional structure of proteins. 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!)
