DESCRIPTION:Nebraska Cures is inviting teens to participate in their second annual teen public service announcement (PSA) competition designed to promote science and engage in science advocacy.  The competition theme is the “Climate & Health Challenge.”  The competition challenges teens to create and share PSAs on social media that educate about the impact of climate change and extreme weather on physical and mental health. \nEntries can be made in three categories: pictures\, infographics and short videos (60 seconds or less). Entries can be made on Facebook\, Instagram\, TikTok and Twitter and must use #ClimateHealthChallenge and either #NebraskaCures or tag the organization.  $50 prizes will be awarded in each category.  Winners will be announced in early May. \nParticipants must be 13-19 years old and live in Nebraska.  Additional details and a full list of rules are here.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Biomedical Scientist Zoltan Takacs
DESCRIPTION:Join us on April 20\, noon\, for a very special Lunch and Learn with National Geographic Live biomedical scientist\, Zoltan Takacs at the Holland Center. This intimate setting will allow you to ask questions related to Earth’s Deadliest Lifesavers and Zoltan Takacs career. \nThe Earth’s deadliest animal venoms are a source of a number of lifesaving medicines used to treat everything from heart attacks to diabetes. Yet there are millions of venom toxins in nature that remain unexplored. Biomedical scientist and inventor Zoltan Takacs collects snake\, scorpion\, jellyfish\, and other venoms from around the world. Back in the lab\, using cutting-edge genomics\, he creates combinatorial venom libraries to identify leads for novel medicines. \n\n\nDriven by his childhood passion\, he’s traveled to 155 countries and become an aircraft pilot\, scuba diver and real-life survivor\, roughing it in a hammock deep in the Amazon or in remote Pacific islands. In his mission\, he survived charging elephants\, pirated waters and a series of snake bites and venom spit in his face (all his faults he admits). Now he’s allergic to both snake venom and antivenom. \n\n\nThis event is free\, though tickets are required. Doors open at 11:30am\, lunch available for purchase. \n

SUMMARY:13th annual Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD\, History of Medicine Lectureship
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Janet Gilsdorf will share stories based on her book\, Continual Raving: A History of Meningitis and the People Who Conquered It\, of how scientists across the 19th and 20th centuries defeated the deadly brain infection meningitis — not through flawless research\, but through a series of serendipitous events\, misplaced assumptions\, and flawed conclusions. The result shows not just how a disease is vanquished\, but how scientific accomplishment can sometimes occur where it is least expected. \n Registration for Zoom is required. \nDr. Gilsdorf\, an alum of the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Medicine\, is the Robert P. Kelch Research Professor Emerita in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Michigan and an infectious diseases physician at C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, where she participates in the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients with complex infectious diseases\, and in the clinical training of medical students\, pediatric residents\, and pediatric infectious diseases fellows. She has published over 100 articles of original research\, most centering around the epidemiology\, molecular characteristics\, and pathogenesis of Haemophilus influenzae. She is a past president of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) and received the PIDS Distinguished Physician award in 2012. In addition to her scientific writing\, she is the author of Inside/Outside: A Physician’s Journey with Breast Cancer (U of Michigan Press)\, Ten Days (a novel from Kensington Books)\, and Continual Raving: The History of Meningitis And The People Who Conquered It (Oxford University Press).  She has published several personal essays in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Emerging Infectious Diseases\, Health Affairs\, and The Examined Life. In 1999 she was awarded the Journal of Internal Medicine Award for Prose. \n  \nThe Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD\, History of Medicine Lectureship brings national experts to the UNMC campus to discuss the history of medicine\, in support of special collections at the McGoogan Library\, including rare books and works on the history of medicine. The lectureship is supported through an endowed fund given by the late Richard B. Davis\, MD\, PhD (1926-2010)\, faculty member at UNMC from 1969-1994 and professor emeritus of internal medicine at UNMC. Dr. Davis and his wife\, Jean\, provided support for this lectureship out of his long-standing interest in the history of medicine.
