SUMMARY:2023 NAS Annual Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Join the Nebraska Academy of Sciences on April 21 for the 2023 Annual Spring Meeting on the campus of Nebraska Wesleyan University. \nThe meeting will be a HYBRID format with both in-person and remote-Zoom access for presentations and participation.  This Meeting provides an excellent opportunity for students\, faculty\, and scientists to share their research results with peers and colleagues across Nebraska. Concurrent sessions will host selected themes across a range of scientific disciplines. \nFollowing lunch\, Dr. Jason Bartz will present “Prion and Prion-like Diseases\,” for the  2023 Maiben Lecture. \nDr. Bartz has been investigating prions for over 30 years. Dr. Bartz’s research has investigated interspecies transmission\, pathogenesis\, and the biology of prion strains. Dr. Bartz’s group has developed novel whole animal and in vitro models of prion disease and\, more importantly\, the results from these systems have changed the paradigm of how a protein-only infectious agent can perform complex biological tasks. More recently\, Dr. Bartz has expanded his studies to include the interaction of prions with the environment by leveraging his expertise in prion biology with collaborators in environmental engineering resulting in fundamental discoveries on how prions interface with the environment influences the biology of prion disease. Dr. Bartz is currently on the editorial board of numerous peer-reviewed journals including PLoS Pathogens and the Journal of Virology\, has chaired numerous national and international prion advisory groups and serves on numerous grant review panels\, both in the United States and abroad. \nPlease contact nebacad@unl.edu with questions and visit neacadsci.org for more information \nRegistration is required.

SUMMARY:Sunday Science with The Bad Astronomer\, Phil Plait
DESCRIPTION:Come out to Site-1 Brewing on Sunday\, April 23 at 4pm to hear from The Bad Astronomer\, Phil Plait. \nJoin Phil as he talks about his new book\, “Under Alien Skies.” Following his presentation\, you are invited to ask Phil all your science questions. Books will be available for purchase at this event. \nHave you ever wondered what it would be like to travel the universe? How would Saturn’s rings look from a spaceship sailing just above them? If you were falling into a black hole\, what’s the last thing you’d see before getting spaghettified? While traveling in person to most of these amazing worlds may not be possible—yet—the would-be space traveler need not despair: you can still take the scenic route through the galaxy with renowned astronomer and science communicator Philip Plait. \nPhilip Plait\, PhD\, is an astronomer\, sci-fi dork\, TV documentary talking head\, and all-around science enthusiast. The author of Bad Astronomy and Death from the Skies!\, he writes the Bad Astronomy newsletter and lives in Colorado. \nThis is a free\, all ages event. Tickets are required due to venue capacity.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Temple Grandin
DESCRIPTION:Autism self-advocate Temple Grandin\, PhD\, will share her unique perspective on animals when she headlines the 2024 Nebraska Science Festival this spring. \nA professor of animal science at Colorado State University\, Dr. Grandin also is a pioneer in improving the handling and welfare of farm animals. \nDr. Grandin will kick off the festival March 26 with her presentation\, “Visual Thinking and Animal Behavior.” The 7:30 p.m. presentation will be at The Garden Theater\, 3125 Oak View Drive in Omaha. Grandin’s talk will help attendees better understand animals in their sensory-based world as well as provide insights into solving problems. General admission tickets are free but required for admittance; tickets (first-come\, first-served basis) will be available March 1 via Eventbrite. The program is suggested for ages 12 and older. \nThe Nebraska Science Festival\, which runs throughout April\, features an array of science- and technology-related activities in communities across the state – all designed to make science accessible\, interactive\, relevant and fun for all ages. \nDr. Grandin’s achievements are remarkable. At age 2 she had no speech and signs of severe autism. She learned speech after many hours of therapy and intensive teaching. Later\, inspired in part by her high school science teacher\, she pursued a career as a scientist and livestock equipment designer. Half the cattle in the U.S. and Canada are handled in equipment she has designed for meat plants. She has developed animal welfare guidelines for the meat industry and consulted with companies on animal welfare. Widely published\, she continues her research at Colorado State University and teaches courses on livestock handling and facility design. \nIn her latest book\, Navigating Autism: 9 Mindsets For Helping Kids on the Spectrum\, Dr. Grandin presents nine strengths-based mindsets necessary to successfully work with young people on the autism spectrum. Her book Animals in Translation was a New York Times best seller\, and her book Livestock Handling and Transport is in its fourth edition. In addition to a popular TED Talk\, she has authored Thinking in Pictures\, Emergence Labeled Autistic\, Animals Make us Human\, Improving Animal Welfare: A Practical Approach\, The Way I See It\, and The Autistic Brain.
