SUMMARY:The Future in Rearview: Stories from the Edge of Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that looks to the past to better understand the future. Through science\, history\, and creative reflection\, this program explores how moments that shaped a community—whether dramatic\, devastating\, or quietly transformational—continue to echo forward in time. \nFrom modeling future floods using lessons from 1997 to stories that revisit turning points in personal or collective memory\, we’ll examine how the past offers clues\, caution\, and insight for the world we’re building next. \nCome explore what it means to view tomorrow through the rearview mirror\, and how the stories we carry can illuminate the path ahead. \nRefreshments & cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nPurchase Tickets! \nStorytellers: \nDr. Guo Yu holds the position of Assistant Research Professor at DRI and is also a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Nevada. Dr. Yu has a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and over 10 years combined academic and industrial experience in the fields of hydrology\, hydrometeorology\, and climate change impact studies. He has published over 20 peer-reviewed journal articles\, some of which have been highlighted by the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy as well as the Fifth National Climate Assessment. \n  \n  \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities & Atomic Museum\nand our beverage sponsor 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery. \n

SUMMARY:The View from Here: Stories of Perspective and Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of storytelling that explores the world through new perspectives and the discoveries they inspire. ‘The View from Here’ invites you to see how technology\, curiosity\, and innovation allow us to view our surroundings in ways never before possible. From scientific breakthroughs to personal insights\, these stories reveal how shifting our perspective can unlock a deeper understanding of the world around us. \nPurchase tickets online!  \nDRI Storyteller: \nEric Wilcox\nDr. Wilcox is a DRI researcher focused on the interactions between aerosols\, clouds\, and precipitation to better understand regional climate variability\, radiative forcing of climate at regional scales\, and precipitation processes. His work combines satellite data\, in-situ observations\, and atmospheric modeling to study cloud dynamics and their climatic impacts. As leader of DRI’s atmospheric modeling group\, he employs high-resolution regional and global climate models for applications in water resources\, renewable energy\, and air quality. Additionally\, he directs the ASTER Laboratory\, advancing unmanned aircraft systems for environmental research.  \nFeatured Speaker: \nMichael Branch\, who is University Foundation Professor\, Emeritus at UNR\, is an award-winning writer and humorist who lives with his wife and two daughters in the western Great Basin Desert. His published work includes 300 essays and ten books\, among them the Pulitzer Prize-nominated John Muir’s Last Journey. His trilogy of humorous creative nonfiction from the high desert includes Raising Wild\, Rants from the Hill\, and How to Cuss in Western. His most recent book\, On the Trail of the Jackalope\, which braids humor\, science\, and the arts and humanities\, has been called “an entertaining and enlightening road trip to the heart of an American legend.” Mike was the 2024 inductee into the Nevada Writers Hall of Fame.
