To date, more than 100 science cafes have taken place in Omaha, Lincoln and Scottsbluff. <\/p>\n<p>The Science Cafe is a free educational event sponsored by UNMC and other groups. Baum also was instrumental in the creation of the Nebraska Science Festival, which capped its fifth year in April with more than 100-plus science-related activities for all ages in communities across Nebraska. <\/p>\n<p>Past Friend of Science Awards have been given to UNMC&#8217;s James Turpen, Ph.D., 2016, and Maurice Godfrey, Ph.D., 2012.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\"
