As part of the partnership, medical center employees and their employees get free museum admission with valid identification. The partnership also facilitates lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.  <\/p>\n<p>Valdez is a research fellow at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park and has conducted extensive research in the Amazon and Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Employees are encouraged to bring their lunch. <\/p>\n<p>An evening lecture also is scheduled at the museum at 6:30 p.m. on June 24 in the Stanley and Dorothy Truhlsen Lecture Hall. Seating for lectures is limited so reservations are required. To reserve seats, please call 402-444-5071.
