SUMMARY:Wings Over the Platte
DESCRIPTION:Flowing across the heart of the Great Plains\, the Platte River has long been a source of life\, movement\, and inspiration. Wings Over the Platte celebrates the landscapes\, waterways\, and wildlife that define this region through the vision of artists connected to the Platte River Valley. \nFrom sweeping prairie horizons and ever-changing skies to intimate studies of plants\, animals\, and waterways\, this juried exhibition captures the spirit of a place where nature and people have been intertwined for generations. Artwork in painting\, photography\, sculpture\, and more invites visitors to experience the river not just as scenery\, but as a living force that shapes Nebraska’s land\, history\, and community. Many works will also be available for purchase\, offering a chance to take home a piece of the river’s story. \nJoin The Stuhr Museum in honoring the connection between art and nature\, and the timeless role the Platte River plays in shaping both.

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.
