Friday Dinsdale Award: Dean Radin
Seeing Psi with a New Lens
Nearly every major advancement in science began with the invention of new instruments and analytical tools that extended human perception beyond its ordinary limits. From microscopes and telescopes to modern methods for analyzing genes and galaxies, such innovations have repeatedly uncovered aspects of reality that were previously invisible or deemed impossible. Something similar is now occurring in psi research. New analytical methods applied to large-scale databases are allowing psi effects to be detected with greater clarity and confidence. I will present a number of examples involving remote viewing and precognition.

About the Dinsdale Award
Established in 1992, the Dinsdale Award is named in memory of Tim Dinsdale, who obtained striking evidence of unexplained animals in Loch Ness in 1960. Over the next three decades, Dinsdale's quest to understand what he documented was a model of meticulous research, rigorous methodology, and proper scholarly attitude. Through the Dinsdale Award, the Society for Scientific Exploration identifies and rewards senior scholars who have made substantial contributions to the understanding of physical, biological, and psychological anomalies with the scientific integrity exemplified by Tim Dinsdale.
The Society for Scientific Exploration presents the Dinsdale Award every two years. The previous winners are Helmut Schmidt (1992), William Corliss (1994), Halton Arp (1996), Ian Stevenson (1998), Kilmer McCully (2000), William Roll (2002), Robert Rines (2004), Peter Sturrock (2006), Jerome Clark (2008), Jack Houck (2010), Henry Bauer (2012), Gerald Pollack (2014), Jeff Meldrum (2016), Harold Puthoff (2018), Jessica Utts (2021), and Patrick Huyghe (2023).
