They are open to everyone (21 and older), and take place in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. A scientist gives a brief presentation followed by a question and answer period.<\/p>\n<p>Pizza will be provided by The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures for the first 50 people.
