\nAli S. Khan, M.D., M.P.H., dean of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health, will give an overview of Ebola at the next Omaha Science Café to be held at 7 p.m. on Nov. 4 at the Slowdown, 729, N. 14th<\/sup> St.<\/p>\n

\nA former assistant surgeon general, Dr. Khan served at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for 23 years before retiring as the director of the Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. In that role, he managed the $1.5 billion public health security program and was responsible for all of CDC's public health preparedness and response activities.<\/p>\n

\nDr. Khan joined the CDC and U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps in 1991 as an epidemic intelligence service officer and over the past decades has led and responded to numerous high profile domestic and international public health emergencies, including hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, Ebola hemorrhagic fever, monkeypox, avian influenza, Rift Valley fever, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the Asian Tsunami in 2004, and the initial public health response to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

\nAs dean of the UNMC College of Public Health, Dr. Khan’s vision is for the college to play an integral role in making Nebraska the healthiest state in the union.<\/p>\n

\nScience Cafés 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

\nPizza will be provided by The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures for the first 50 people. For more information about Science Cafes, go to www.unmc.edu\/sciencecafe<\/a>. Podcasts of previous Science Cafes also are available the day following event on the website or through iTunes. <\/p>\n

\nThrough world-class research and patient care, UNMC generates breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond. Its education programs train more health professionals than any other institution in the state. Learn more at <\/em>unmc.edu<\/em><\/a> and follow us on social media.<\/em><\/p>\n
