In her movie titled “Nafkot – Yearning” (2022), Dr Malka Shabtay, an Israeli Anthropologist, takes us on a fascinating journey to North Sheva and tells a story of survival of its Jewish community, during which we will discover 15 secret synagogues, red tents, strict shabes observance, sacred ceremonies such as the Red Cow ceremony, and much more. The event will begin with an Ethiopian, kosher for Passover, buffet dinner followed by the movie screening “Nafkot – Yearning” (2022) and discussion led by Dr Shabtay and Tazebku Worku.

Please join us for the launch of Salk’s Science & Justice series. During this inaugural event, neuroscientist and Salk Professor Thomas Albright will join Peter Neufeld, civil rights lawyer and co-founder of The Innocence Project, to discuss the latest research on visual perception and memory, how that influences forensic identification decisions, and what that means for justice in our criminal legal system. Through an engaging moderated discussion, the speakers will break down the topics above based on their respective areas of expertise and collaborations and explore how a modern scientific understanding of visual perception and memory can help to overcome failures of forensic practice and guide courts toward greater justice. Members of the public and individuals involved professionally in criminal law, scientific research, public policy, and social justice, who follow and/or await developments in this realm, will have a unique opportunity to learn more about the intersection and contradictions between science and law during this event. A reception will follow the discussion.
