The University of Nebraska State Museum’s next Sunday with a Scientist program for children and families will focus on the science of food microbiology. The program is 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., April 15 at Morrill Hall.
“Food microbes: Good, Bad, and Ugly” will be presented by assistant professor Heather Hallen-Adams of UNL's Department of Food Science and Technology.
