Nevada Humanities continues its partnership with the Desert Research Institute on Curiosity Lab by DRI—a series of events in Reno and Las Vegas that brings together storytellers from science, the humanities, and the arts to illuminate our shared connection to the state of Nevada.

Join us for an evening that weaves together water, memory, innovation, and imagination—exploring how the choices we make today ripple into the future. While the 1997 flood offers a powerful point of reflection, this program looks beyond a single event to examine Nevada’s evolving relationship with water through science, personal story, and creative practice.

From the hidden water demands of emerging technologies and energy growth, to a fifth-generation farmer’s journey into groundwater science, to the transformative power of creativity in science education, our storytellers reveal how curiosity and lived experience shape the way we understand and steward our world.

Come discover how stories—both personal and collective—can deepen insight, spark connection, and help illuminate the path forward.

Refreshments and cocktails from 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery will be provided

Retirement living is not a one-size-fits-all decision, and waiting too long often limits choices.

The truth is that many people misunderstand retirement living options or rely on incomplete information from websites and sales-driven sources. Common misconceptions include believing there is a single “right” time to move or that options only matter once a crisis occurs.

This seminar examines the realities of retirement living options, including independent living, assisted living, and other arrangements. We will discuss what proactive planning looks like, how timing affects choice and cost, and what people often wish they had known earlier.

Attendees will hear perspectives from retirees who have already made these decisions and gain clearer insight into what matters, what requires planning, and what to consider before making a move.
