Luckily we had beautiful clear skies for our most recent installment of Profs at the Pub. Thank you to our wonderful host, SB Cider Co and a big THANK YOU to everyone that came out to listen and participate in an engaging discussion with Professor David Valentine. You all came with incredible and thought-provoking questions that helped us learn and explore his research even further.
For those that couldn't attend, you can still catch the trailer for his new documentary film, Out of Plain Sight (click here to watch). If you want to learn more about Professor David Valentine and his research, check out his conversation with UCSB Magazinehere.
This month we have some fun upcoming events including a talk presented by the UCSB History Associates at the Alhecama Theatre and a continuation of the Aging and Longevity Lecture series, a collaboration between UC Santa Barbara Alumni and the Center for Aging and Longevity Studies.
We hope you enjoy the latest issue of the Affiliates Newsletter!
Until next time,
