Alan Kolok, Ph.D., a professor of biology at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, will discuss what is found in the rivers, lakes and streams of Nebraska at the next Omaha Science Cafe at 7 p.m. on July 18 at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St.<\/p>\n

As director of the Nebraska Watershed Network at UNO, Dr. Kolok studies land use and its impact on water quality and environmental health, through the aquatic toxicology laboratory. His primary research interest focuses on endocrine disrupting compounds within agriculturally dominated watersheds, such as the Elkhorn River in Nebraska. <\/p>\n

Dr. Kolok earned his doctoral degree from the University of Colorado. He is the author of “Modern Poisons,” a brief introduction to contemporary toxicology.<\/p>\n

This cafe is part one of a two-part cafe partnership with the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and their current exhibition, David Brooks: Continuous Service Altered Daily<\/a>.<\/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 Q-and-A period.<\/p>\n

Pizza will be provided for the first 50 people. See more information about Science Cafes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
