SUMMARY:Omaha Science Cafe - "A true crime history of forensic anthropology: How famous true crime cases led to the development of forensic anthropology"
DESCRIPTION:Join Katie East\, PhD\, D-ABFA\, forensic anthropologist\, for the April 30 Omaha Science Cafe as she presents\, “A true crime history of forensic anthropology: How famous true crime cases led to the development of forensic anthropology\,” 7pm at Vis Major Brewing Company. \nThanks to television and true crime\, forensic anthropology is more popular\, and sensationalized\, than ever. What most fans don’t know is that the study of human skeletons is an important scientific tool in criminal investigations that has developed alongside real true crime cases. Join Dr. Katie East to learn about the unexpected origins of this fascinating field through real stories about true crimes that marked pivotal moments in this history of the field. \nDr. Katie East is a forensic anthropologist\, university instructor\, and science communicator. By day\, Katie investigates skeletons as a Board-certified forensic anthropologist\, and by night (and weekends)\, she captivates public audiences with the wonders of science and history. \nWith over a decade of experience in museums\, laboratories\, and field settings\, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge about anthropology\, archaeology\, and science to audiences of all ages. For Katie\, being a scientist isn’t just about wearing a lab coat—it’s about curiosity\, passion\, and empathy. \nScience Cafés address science topics in casual settings like pubs and coffeehouses. The events are open to everyone. \nUsing plain language\, an easygoing atmosphere and inclusive conversation\, these interactive events are welcoming and comfortable for people with no science background. Each presentation is followed by a question-and-answer period.
