Also means
incidentally, by the way
Usage Note
Nebenher means 'at the same time (as something else)' or 'on the side', e.g. nebenher jobben ('to work on the side'). It can also mean 'incidentally' when introducing a side remark. Distinct from nebenbei only in register — the two are near-synonyms in modern usage.
Examples
"Sie studiert Medizin und arbeitet nebenher als Kellnerin."
