Kari Byron to Headline 2017 Nebraska Science Festival

Kari Byron, best known as a host on Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters” and “The White Rabbit Project” on Netflix, will headline the 2017 Nebraska Science Festival (NeSciFest.com) on April 21.

For more than a decade Byron has been a strong presence in the world of reality-based science television, hosting and producing shows spanning several networks. “Kari Byron is a strong advocate of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) programming on television so we’re especially proud to spotlight her in this, our fifth year of the Nebraska Science Festival,” said SciFest coordinator Kacie Baum.

The Nebraska Science Festival – scheduled for April 20-29 – will feature an array of science and technology-related activities in communities across the state with the goal of making science accessible, interactive, relevant and fun for all ages.

On April 21 at 7:30 p.m., join Byron in a moderated discussion at Joslyn Museum’s Witherspoon Concert Hall in Omaha.

Tickets for the general admission seating to Byron’s presentation will be released on April 1 on a first-come, first-served basis. This will be online at Event Brite (four per person); please check NeSciFest.com for more information. Although the presentation is free, tickets are required for admittance when doors open at 6:30 p.m.
