SUMMARY:Omaha Science Cafe with Common Senses Festival
DESCRIPTION:Join Michael Hollins\, James Coleman and Dr. Matthew Goodwin for our next virtual Omaha Science Café on April 13 at 9am. \nThis team is behind two of the Common Senses Festival installations. Essentially the two installations\, combined\, make up The EMMA project. Think a prescriptive environment that uses sensors to assess a person’s arousal state and then adjusts (lighting\, sound\, projections) to help someone self regulate. \nThe virtual Science Café will be offered via zoom and livestreamed to the Science Cafe Facebook page. Viewers do not need a Facebook account to view the livestream. \nRegister here for the zoom link. \nScience Cafés involve a conversation with an expert about current science topics. They are open to everyone. Each meeting is organized around an interesting topic of conversation. Experts give a brief presentation followed by a Q&A period. \n  \n  \nSpeaker Bios \nMichael Hollins is the Director of Community & Business Engagement for the iEXCEL program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Previously\, he served as Chief Creative Officer for community and arts organizations such as KANEKO and Pottawattamie Arts\, Culture & Entertainment (PACE). Michael holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) in Anthropology\, Philosophy\, and Film Studies and Master of Arts in Cinema & Media Studies from the University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA). He is currently pursuing a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO) and volunteers with the Nebraska Writers Collective\, Autism Action Partnership\, tbd. Dance Collective and Film Streams. \n  \nJames Coleman is a current doctoral student at Princeton University and is a former Senior Project Engineer at JB&B. Specialized in “Smart Buildings\,” he facilitates the adoption of cutting-edge technology to deliver better occupant experiences in buildings\, for all who use them. In collaboration with Dr. Goodwin\, he developed The LivingRoom: a controllable environment that allows occupants to curate a calming space for themselves out of lights\, sounds and images. James aspires to make Smart Building technologies widespread\, so that all may benefit from environments that understand their unique preferences. \n  \nDr. Matthew S. Goodwin is an Interdisciplinary Associate Professor with joint appointments in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences and Khoury College of Computer Science\, where he is a founding faculty member of a new doctoral program in Personal Health Informatics and Directs the Computational Behavioral Science Laboratory. Dr. Goodwin was a former Visiting Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at Harvard Medical School\, Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Brown University\, and Director of Clinical Research at the MIT Media Lab. He has previously served on the Executive Board of the International Society for Autism Research and the Scientific Advisory Board for Autism Speaks. He has over 20 years of research and clinical experience working with children and adults on the autism spectrum and developing and evaluating innovative technologies for behavioral assessment and intervention\, including video and audio capture\, telemetric physiological monitors\, accelerometry sensors\, and digital video/facial recognition systems

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:Ask a Meteorologist with Caitlin Harvey
DESCRIPTION:Get your questions ready for our “Ask a Meteorologist” virtual event with KETV NewsWatch 7’s very own Caitlin Harvey. \nCaitlin Harvey is a Meteorologist with KETV NewsWatch 7 in Omaha. Growing up just outside of Kansas City\, Missouri\, Caitlin is no stranger to severe weather and dramatic temperature changes. Her earliest weather memory came at the age of 4\, when a tornado warning forced her family outside into the storm cellar. Though no damage came from the warning\, that memory sparked a fascination and passion for weather and to learn what caused such severe weather. \nCaitlin attended the University of Missouri in Columbia and earned a degree in Soil\, Environmental and Atmospheric Sciences – with an emphasis in Atmospheric Science\, in 2016. Caitlin interned with NBC affiliate KOMU and went on to work at KMIZ in Columbia\, Missouri and KDRV in Medford\, Oregon. \nOutside of work\, Caitlin is part of a proud “geek” family. She is happily married to her husband\, Skip\, a comic book creator and artist\, and a proud pet parent to Starbuck\, Maeby\, Gerbie\, and Noodle. She enjoys swimming\, water skiing\, sailing\, cosplay and karaoke. \nCaitlin will join us live on our festival Facebook page on April 28 at 10am to answer all your science and weather questions. \nYou can send in questions before the event\, or ask them live in the chat the day of the event.
