For 136 years, the Nebraska Academy of Sciences has hosted an annual meeting designed to bring the scientific community across the state together to 'share their science'. Faculty, students, professionals, researchers, and citizen scientist members are welcome to submit an abstract for the annual meeting in one of the following sections:
Aeronautics and Space
Anthropology
Applied Science and Technology
Biology

When you present your research at the NAS Annual Meeting, your abstract will be included in the Program and Proceedings for the 136th Annual Meeting and stored digitally at the University of Nebraska Digital Commons. Add your chapter to the rich history of Science in the state of Nebraska!
New this year, NAS will invite presenters from the Annual Spring Meeting to submit “expanded abstracts” (or “conference paper” in some disciplines) for publication in a special, non-peer-reviewed edition of the Transactions of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences (TNAS). This will be similar to a “Conference Proceedings” or “Conference Series” edition of a journal. The papers, like TNAS, will be open access. You can indicate your interest in an expanded abstract submission during registration.
YOU MUST BE A MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING OF NAS TO PRESENT AN ABSTRACT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
