The McGoogan Health Sciences Library will host an author talk on Oct. 7 from noon to 1 p.m. with Loren Olson, MD, in support of his book, “No More Neckties: A Memoir in Essays.” The presentation will be held on Zoom and requires registration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Olson will discuss life in Nebraska in the 1950 and ’60s and how that delayed his coming to terms with his sexuality. He will discuss how family, religion and culture continue to create a predicament for those who question their sexuality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Olson is the award-winning author of “Finally Out: Letting Go of Living Straight” and is a distinguished life fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. A physician for more than 50 years, he served as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Navy and continues to practice psychiatry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A well-regarded essayist and popular speaker on mental health and LGBTQ issues, he has been interviewed on regional and national television, national and international radio and in multiple print and online publications. Dr. Olson is the father of two daughters and is a proud grandfather. A native of Wakefield, Nebraska, and a graduate of UNMC, he lives in Des Moines, Iowa, with Doug Mortimer, his husband and life partner of 35 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copies of Dr. Olson\u2019s book will be available via a drawing. Entries can be made online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
