They’re back!
Science Cafes, which debuted in February and drew students, young professionals, doctors and science teachers to Omaha’s Slowdown, will resume on April 7 when UNMC’s Michael Feloney, M.D., leads a discussion on “the science of sex.”
The events — hosted by UNMC, BioNebraska and the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures — will continue on the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Slowdown, 729 N. 14th St. in Omaha.
Dr. Feloney — assistant professor of urologic surgery at UNMC — currently is one of the only physicians in Omaha who actively treat female sexual dysfunction, which is defined as any medical problem or phenomenon that prevents females from engaging in normal sexual activity.

More than 80 people attended the first Science Cafe and nearly 200 came to the second. This means those who attend on April 7 should arrive early as free pizza will once again be provided by the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, for the first 50 people.
Kendra Schmid, Ph.D., assistant professor of biostatics in the College of Public Health, will speak on “the science of attractiveness” at the Science Cafe on Tuesday, May 5, at 7 p.m. Dr. Schmid’s research was recently featured on the Discovery Channel.
