SUMMARY:Under the Sun: Stories of Heat and Humanity in a Changing World
DESCRIPTION:Join DRI for an evening of storytelling that explores the impact of extreme heat on the human body\, the environment\, and the communities most vulnerable to its effects. ‘Under the Sun’ will delve into the science of heat\, the life-and-death risks it presents\, and the stories of resilience from those who bear the greatest burden in a warming world. \nPurchase tickets online!  \nDRI Storytellers:\nPatrick Hurbain\, Ph.D. is an environmental epidemiologist working in the Environmental Analysis Facility at DRI. He worked as a technician at DRI between 2013 and 2019 before leaving to complete a Ph.D. at the University of Nevada\, Reno. He returned to DRI as a postdoctoral researcher in September 2024. While in graduate school\, Hurbain worked on a project with DRI’s Yeongkwon Son\, Ph.D.\, examining environmental exposures in young children. \nRead more about Dr. Hurbain in an exclusive interview with Behind the Science Blog. \nDr. Hurbain will tell the story of the human body under the stress of extreme heat. \n  \nCayenne Engel is a Staff Research Scientist at DRI with a background in plant ecology\, restoration biology and urban forestry\, studying dynamic changes in complex ecosystems and bringing together a wide variety of partners and stakeholders across jurisdictions at local\, state\, and national scales. Cayenne works in DRI’s Nevada Heat Lab. \nCayenne will be telling a story about the complex relationships we have with trees which transcends the simple infrastructure role in our community architecture. \n  \nFeatured Presenter: \nRED is a rapper\, entertainer\, and master bucket drummer who will fuse a story and performance that weaves together raw experiences performing on the scorching Las Vegas Strip. Through live drumming and vivid tales\, RED brings to life the hustle\, heart\, and heat of street performance. \n  \n  \nThank you to our community partner Nevada Humanities and media sponsor Nevada Public Radio. \n           \nThis production is not a Vegas Theatre Company event.

SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Workshop at Nevada Museum of Art: The Art of Science Communication with Tiffany Pereira
DESCRIPTION:An issue facing most scientists today is…communication.  Some people don’t have access to information\, some people are overcome by jargon\, and others simply don’t care unless it impacts them directly. How do scientists convey research to the public in a way that’s factual\, interesting\, and easily accessible?  The answer is….the union of art and science. Join Tiffany Pereira\, Associate Research Scientist and Scientific Illustrator at the Desert Research Institute for an interactive class on Scientific Illustration and Science Communication.  Learn what makes a scientific or botanical illustration special and how to construct a infographic to convey complex ideas. All supplies are provided. \nPlease visit the Nevada Museum of Art’s website for pricing and registration. \n

SUMMARY:Nevada Robotics at Curiosity Lab by DRI
DESCRIPTION:Come create and make with us! The Nevada Robotics team will be on hand for CS-STEM Creations – art projects with robots and coding – from 5 – 8 p.m. on July 30 at the DRI\, Reno Campus for Curiosity Lab – From Curiosity to Creation: Listen\, Learn\, and Create. \nPurchase tickets online! \nFull Event Info:\nJoin us for an evening of inspiration and creativity at Curiosity Lab by DRI – From Curiosity to Creation: Listen\, Learn\, Create. Discover the intersection of art and science through lightning talks from innovative thinkers\, including Rachel Kozloski\, a DRI hydrologist studying microplastics in water systems\, and Fil Corbitt\, producer of The Wind podcast\, who explores place through immersive sound recordings. After their talks\, unleash your own creativity with provided materials and experiment with different artistic mediums (you are welcome to bring your own art supplies as well). The evening culminates in a pop-up gallery showcasing the community’s collective creations. This event is best-enjoyed by those over 13 years old.  \nCome ready to listen\, learn\, and create!\n5pm to 6pm: Food trucks & 10 Torr Cocktails\n6pm to 6:30pm: Presentations\n6:30pm to 7:30pm: CREATE! Use the provided art supplies or bring your own to create artworks inspired by our speakers\n7:30pm to 8:30pm: Stroll through the pop-up gallery of artwork created by the community. \nFeaturing: \nRachel Kozloski is a PhD student in UNR’s Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences. Prior to beginning her PhD\, Rachel worked in the private and government sectors as a soil scientist and environmental analyst. Her research focuses on microplastics in urban runoff and microplastic movement in connected surface and groundwater systems. When she is not conducting lab analyses or doing fieldwork\, she is equally happy exploring wild places or curled up with her dogs and a good book.  \nFil Corbitt producer of The Wind podcast. Fil will be telling the story of using sound to explore place. His signature sound recordings around Nevada and the world bring the natural world to listeners\, allowing them to use just their sense of hearing to experience the environment. \nThank you to our community partner Nevada Humanities\, our media sponsor KUNR\, and our exclusive beverage sponsor 10 Torr.
