Science Cafe focuses on agriculture, livestock, horticulture

Beef and bees are the focus of UNMC’s latest Science Café.

The event is tonight at The Slowdown in Omaha. Lindsay Chichester, a UNL Extension educator in Saunders County, will talk about livestock, agriculture, and food.

"Some of the things we’re going to talk about are the differences between grass-fed and grain-fed, and what that means, and some of the research behind that. And then we’ll talk a little bit about organic and what really means versus conventionally or normal-raised."

Chichester says she’ll also talk about some misconceptions surrounding how livestock are treated. Natalia Bjorklund, a UNL Extension educator in Dodge County, will present about plants, vegetables, and bees.

The Science Café begins at 7 pm.
