Join us for an evening that uncovers the dangers, truths, and meanings that often remain just out of sight. Through science, art, history, and personal reflection, this program invites you to look beneath the surface—at the hidden risks, overlooked details, and subtle forces that shape how we move through the world.
You’ll hear about efforts to detect threats earlier and more precisely, alongside stories that explore how a simple shift in perspective can alter our understanding of safety, meaning, and connection. Whether buried in the ground, embedded in memory, or woven into the fabric of daily life, the unseen has a profound impact on what we believe and how we act.
Come discover how looking closer—and looking differently—can transform what we think we know about the world and our place within it.
Refreshments & cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided.
$15 – General Admission
$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators
Storytellers:
Justin Toller is a geophysicist at the Desert Research Institute, where he leads and collaborates with multidisciplinary teams on Department of Defense projects focused on detecting landmines and characterizing environments that challenge mobility and communication. Their work applies advanced geophysical techniques to address complex, real-world problems.
Justin holds a Masters of Science in Geophysics, a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from Northern Arizona University, with minors in Philosophy and Mathematics. During his studies, he worked at Lowell Observatory as both an educator and research assistant, balancing research with delivering engaging science lectures to diverse audiences. This experience sparked a lasting passion for science communication, which he hoped to continue alongside his research. At the core of his work is a drive to learn, grow, and create positive change through science, education, and meaningful collaboration.
