Science Cafe
Hot Topics, Real Science
Get ready to talk science face-to-face with actual scientists.
Our Science Cafés address the latest hot science topics in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. The events are open to everyone (21 and older).
Using plain language, an easygoing atmosphere and inclusive conversation, these interactive events are welcoming and comfortable for people with no science background. Each presentation is followed by a question-and-answer period.
Come for the free pizza -- provided to the first 50 attendees by The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures -- and stay for the science.
