\nBarbara Hewins-Maroney, Ph.D., an associate professor of urban studies and public administration at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, will discuss public health policy in early Omaha at the next Omaha Science Café at 7 p.m., Feb. 9 at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th<\/sup> St.<\/p>\n

\nDr. Hewins-Maroney received a doctorate in educational psychology from UNO, an undergraduate degree in sociology, a master’s degree in urban studies from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and a master’s degree in public administration from the University of New Mexico.<\/p>\n

\nHer teaching interests include: public health, civic engagement, and metropolitan development.  She is currently involved in historical research focusing on African-Americans in Nebraska and public health policies and practices that affect that population.  She also does research on educational policies and practices affecting diversity initiatives in the public sector.<\/p>\n

\nThis Science Café is presented in partnership with Opera Omaha and their production of La fanciulla del West<\/em> (The Girl of the Golden West), which is sung in Italian with English supertitles. The opera will be performed Feb. 12 and 14 at the Orpheum Theater.<\/p>\n

\nSet in the saloon of a California mining camp during the Gold Rush, La fanciulla del West<\/em> (The Girl of the Golden West<\/em>) has all the grit and grandeur of a great western film. Puccini’s soaring melodies provide the heartbeat of a dramatic love story filled with passion, redemption, and forgiveness. This production will be directed by Lillian Groag (Carmen<\/em>, 2013) and is part of Westward O<\/em>!, <\/a>a city wide arts festival celebrating the frontier and American West.  <\/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 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 on the website or available for download on iTunes here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nWe are <\/em>Nebraska Medicine<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>UNMC<\/em><\/a>. Our mission is to lead the world in transforming lives to create a healthy future for all individuals and communities through premier educational programs, innovative research and extraordinary patient care.<\/em><\/p>\n
