The Society for Scientific Exploration (SSE) announced that researcher and author Dean Radin will receive the Dinsdale Award and serve as a keynote speaker during the organization’s 44th Annual International Conference, June 17–21, 2026, at the Denver Marriott Westminster Hotel.

Dr. Radin will present “Seeing Psi with a New Lens,” examining emerging approaches to understanding perception, cognition, and analytical methods for studying anomalous experiences and information processing.  As questions surrounding human cognition and perception continue to attract scientific attention, the conference provides a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue and investigation.  Radin has authored and coauthored hundreds of scientific and technical publications and has presented research findings to scientific, academic, government, and professional audiences around the world.

Dr Radin states, “Skeptics who claim that psi phenomena are impossible, or that there is no credible evidence, are either willfully ignorant of the relevant data, or they suffer from a deficiency of imagination, or they mistakenly believe that today’s theories are sacrosanct. The latter is a faith-based position similar to blind acceptance of religious dogma, and it has been disproven time and again by the history of science.”

The conference theme, “Evidence and Encounters: Two Paths to Exploring the Unexplained,” reflects SSE’s commitment to encouraging open inquiry and rigorous research across disciplines.

Program topics include:

• Consciousness and perception research
• Artificial intelligence and cognition
• Quantum information concepts
• Remote viewing and anomalous information transfer
• UAP and aerospace-related anomalies
• Scientific skepticism and methodological discussion
