Adam Savage, co-host and executive producer of Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters,” will headline the 2014 Nebraska Science Festival. In its second year, the Nebraska Science Festival — scheduled for April 24-27, 2014 – features an array of science- and technology-related activities, as well as extends programming into Lincoln as it builds toward being a statewide celebration. On April 25, Savage will present at Joslyn Art Museum’s Witherspoon Concert Hall. His 7:30 p.m. presentation is free to the public but requires a reserved ticket and is suitable for ages 12 and older. Tickets for the general admission seating will be released on Saturday, January 25th on a first-come, first-served basis. To obtain your tickets (a maximum of two per person), stop by the Joslyn Museum between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
In 2014, the Nebraska Science Festival’s free Science Expo will be open to school groups over the course of two days and at two different locations: The Durham Museum in downtown Omaha and the Strategic Air and Space Museum near Ashland, NE. Presented by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, other sponsors to date include The Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures and media sponsors KETV and the Omaha World-Herald.
