Ginger Zee to headline 2018 Nebraska Science Festival

Ginger Zee, chief meteorologist for ABC News, will share her professional — and personal — journey with natural disasters when she headlines the 2018 Nebraska Science Festival on April 20.

As the face of ABC News’ meteorology team, audiences are familiar with Zee’s coverage of natural disasters, but the December 2017 release of her memoir, “Natural Disaster: I Cover Them, I am One,” also shined a light on the difficult personal path Zee traveled to becoming the first female chief network meteorologist at a network.

Her visit to Omaha will highlight the sixth annual Nebraska Science Festival, scheduled for April 19-28. The festival features 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.

“Ginger Zee has a remarkable story that reaches far beyond her high-profile science career,” said SciFest coordinator Kacie Baum. “She will share her passion for meteorology, present the human side of these storms, and inspire our audience by sharing her own life’s storms.”

Zee’s presentation, to be held at Joslyn Museum’s Witherspoon Concert Hall in Omaha, is free to the public (but requires a reserved ticket) and is suitable for all ages. Tickets for the general admission seating will be released online at Event Brite (four per person) on April 1 on a first-come, first-served basis; please check nescifest.com for more information. Although the April 20 presentation is free, tickets are required for admittance when doors open at 6:30 p.m. The presentation will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Presented by UNMC, the Nebraska Science Festival is a collaboration of organizations and individuals interested in the advancement of science literacy. In addition to UNMC, other sponsors, to date, are Metro Credit Union, the Nebraska Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, and media sponsors KETV and the Omaha World-Herald.
