The Fleet Science Center again gets in on the action at the pop culture, science fiction and fantasy event of the year, Comic-Con International: San Diego 2023. The Fleet’s involvement with Comic-Con underscores its mission of connecting everyone to the power of science and meeting communities where they live, work and play. Fleet Panels Two thought-provoking Fleet panels dig into relevant societal topics. Ambassadors from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) IF/THEN Initiative, which includes participants in the Fleet’s New Science exhibition, will participate in the panels. Ms. Marvel and the Power of Representation explores how the television series, whose protagonist is a Muslim-American girl, makes strides toward changing worldviews. Panelists will discuss what it means for Muslim-American girls to see this representation, tapping into ideas of inclusion and intersectionality. In addition, panelists will delve into the specific realm of diversity and inclusion in STEM fields. The seven panelists bring expertise from the realms of data science and aerospace to biophysics and neuroscience—and insights from their lives seeking and finding representation. Thursday, July 20, 10:30 a.m., Room 29CD Dr. Evil, or Scientists as Villains in Pop Culture investigates why we find scientists portrayed as villains in popular culture. Panelists will shatter some stereotypes of the evil scientist and explain why this trope actually is much less likely in reality than in fiction. The expert panelists will discuss ethics, motivations, and what scientists really want us to understand about them and their work. The five panelists bring not only their expertise in STEM but also their extracurricular interests, demonstrating that scientists are people who want to make the world a better, more just place. Sunday, July 23, 2:30 p.m., Room 29CD The Worst-Case Scenario: Survival Experience Also at Comic-Con will be Quirk Books, publisher of the best-selling The Worst-Case Scenario Surivival Handbook series and inspiration for the Fleet’s wildly popular summer exhibition The Worst-Case Scenario: Survival Experience.

The Photographer’s Eye Gallery in Escondido will host an exhibit by Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Don Bartletti, “Looking Back at Today: Forty-Five Years on the U.S.-Mexico Border,” which documents decades of struggle along one of the most politically contested boundaries on the planet. The show will match ten black and white images from Bartletti’s early photojournalistic career, which began in 1972, with ten recently shot images from the past three years. The photos illustrate that despite the passage of time, little has changed as people seek to improve their lives. “These sets of photographs describe the heart and soul of my newspaper career,” Bartletti said. “Over four decades I proposed stories about immigration and published thousands of images and photo essays. It remains the breaking news story that has no deadline, is as old as our species and is unlikely to ever end—human migration.” The exhibit will open at The Photographer’s Eye Gallery, 326 E Grand Ave., on May 18 and continue until June 15. Bartletti will give a talk at the Grand Theater Juniper Room, 321 E. Grand Ave., across the street from the gallery, on May 18 at 3 p.m., for which there will be a $10 charge. He will also conduct a meet and greet at the gallery on May 18 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Bartletti began his work as a photojournalist in 1972 in San Diego County and spent seven years at the San Diego Union-Tribune before moving to the Los Angeles Times in 1984. He is perhaps best known for his photo essay in which he followed undocumented Central American youths as they hopped freight trains through Mexico to the United States, often facing deadly danger. The work, “Enrique’s Journey,” earned Bartletti the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography. While Bartletti’s photographs are documentary, their visual and emotional impact have elevated them to the level of art and have been shown at numerous venues, including the International Center for Photography in New York; the Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, INBA, in Mexico City; Ellis Island Immigration Museum in New York; the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and many others. His work had attracted global recognition and he has been honored with many awards, including the 2002 Robert F. Kennedy Grand Prize for International Photojournalism, the 2002 George Polk Award for International Reporting, and the 2015 Overseas Press Club Award for Reporting on Latin America. Bartletti said that when he began his career as a photojournalist he had no idea he’d be photographing the same story 45 years later. “I thought 40 years ago 30 years ago this could never last,” he said. “But it’s morphed into another kind of migration that proves, once again, there’s no stopping migration for survival. It’s human nature.” For more information visit: thephotographerseyecollective.com Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
