What happens to the body once life ceases?<\/p>\n

That is the topic of the next Omaha Science Cafe, to be held at 7 p.m. on Oct. 14 at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St.<\/p>\n

Geoffrey Talmon, M.D., an associate professor in the department of pathology and microbiology at UNMC, will discuss embalming methods and how different chemicals used to treat illness can turn skin green after death.<\/p>\n

Dr. Talmon is the director of the tissue sciences facility at UNMC. His research interests include surgical, transplant, renal and liver pathology. He teaches the biology of disease to medical students, as well as directs the M2 Autopsy Experience for second-year students.<\/p>\n

He is a member of the American Medical Association, College of American Pathologists and the Group for Research in Pathology Education.<\/p>\n

Science Cafes involve a face-to-face conversation with a scientist about current science topics. 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

Pizza will be provided by The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures for the first 50 people. For more information about Science Cafes, click here<\/a>. Podcasts of previous Science Cafes also are available on the website or available for download on iTunes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
