Offsite Visit us at the Lanford Days Activation in San Diego July 19- 20! The replica of Roseanne’s local hometown festival is free and open to the public. You can play carnival games, win prizes, eat the Lanford Lunch Box Diner’s famous loose meat sandwiches and enjoy the atmosphere. Famed San Diego country/rock singer-songwriter Sara Petite, whose spot-on impersonation of Loretta Lynn has gained widespread attention, will be playing the role of Loretta Lynn at Lanford Days, July 20-21 in San Diego’s Gaslamp District. Petite has built an award-winning career with songs that owe as much to the rock & roll roadhouse as they do the honky-tonk. She has earned a wide range of accolades — including Top 40 success on the Americana charts, international airplay, and more than a half-dozen trophies from the San Diego Music Awards. Lanford Days is based on an iconic episode of ROSEANNE (season 5, episode 15), when the festival appeared in the episode featuring Country-Western legend Loretta Lynn, including a memorable duet with Roseanne over the closing credits. Throughout the two-day festival, which is free and open to the public, activation scenes from Episode 15 will be recreated as if you are right there in the action with our actors - Roseanne, Dan, Darlene, DJ and others, recreating the magic that millions of viewers experienced watching this episode. Lanford Days will be open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Thursday and Friday, July 20-21, at 6th & E in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. The Lanford Lunch Box on Facebook

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.
