The Science Cafes is a free educational event sponsored by UNMC and other groups to increase the population’s science literacy. Hosted by UNMC, BioNebraska and the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, Science Cafes are held on Thursdays every other month. A more scientifically literate populace is a goal in UNMC’s strategic plan. The goal of the committee has been to introduce and get young adults interested in science by presenting it in a casual setting.
Dr. Feloney completed his bachelor’s degree in biology and psychology from Santa Clara University in 1994 and earned his medical degree from St. Louis University School of Medicine where he graduated cum laude in 1998. He went on to do his general surgery internship and residency in urologic surgery at the University of Oklahoma. He finished his fellowship in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey Robert Wood Johnson Graduate Hospital in 2006.
