Due to a change in his production schedule, Adam Savage, co-host and executive producer of Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters,” no longer will headline the Nebraska Science Festival in April. <\/p>\n

SciFest organizers soon will announce a new keynote speaker for the April 25 presentation at Joslyn Museum’s Witherspoon Concert Hall, as well as a new ticket release date. Tickets for Savage had planned to be released Jan. 25 at the Joslyn Museum, but will be rescheduled. Check the Scifest website<\/a> and Facebook page<\/a>, as well as local media, for updates. <\/p>\n

The 7:30 p.m. keynote presentation on April 25 is free to the public (but requires a reserved ticket) and is suitable for ages 12 and older. Tickets for the general admission seating (a maximum of two per person) will continue to be on a first-come, first-served basis. <\/p>\n

The second annual Nebraska Science Festival — scheduled for April 24-27 — features an array of science- and technology-related activities. SciFest programming will extend from Omaha into Lincoln this year as it builds toward being a statewide celebration. <\/p>\n

Presented by UNMC, the Nebraska Science Festival is a growing collaboration interested in the advancement of science literacy. The Science Festival is designed to make science accessible, interactive, relevant and fun for kids and adults alike. <\/p>\n

In addition to UNMC, other sponsors, to date, include The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures and media sponsors KETV and the Omaha World-Herald. <\/p>\n
