Omaha Science Café on Vaccine Development

David Crouse, PhD, President of the Board of the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures (NCLC) for 13 years, will discuss “Communicating Science in a Stressful World: Vaccine Development” at a virtual Omaha Science Café on May 19^th from 10 to 11am. The intent of this presentation is to use Covid-19 vaccine development as a platform to emphasize the importance of a clear, evidence-based discussion of complex but important scientific and clinical topics. Dr. Crouse has had extensive teaching experience and recognition in many areas of cell biology, immunology, and stem cell science. At UNMC, he took a lead role in communicating an understanding of the science and ethics regarding stem cell biology and other related topics. As the president of the NCLC, he has been focused on educating the public and Nebraska legislators about the importance of maintaining a science based, open and competitive research environment. The Science Café will be streamed on the Omaha Science Café Facebook page HERE.
