SUMMARY:The Future in Rearview: Stories from the Edge of Then and Now
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFrom 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. \nCome discover how stories—both personal and collective—can deepen insight\, spark connection\, and help illuminate the path forward. \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: \nErik M. Henzl is a Staff Research Scientist in the Division of Hydrologic Sciences at the Desert Research Institute (DRI). He holds an undergraduate degree in environmental economics from Colgate University. Before joining DRI\, he worked as a Research Associate at the University of Nevada\, Reno\, contributing to research on the Humboldt River Basin. Henzl joined DRI in January 2025. Based at DRI’s Reno office\, he currently researches data center water and energy consumption.   \nAt Curiosity Lab\, Henzl will describe his path to DRI and his current research on data center expansion in Nevada. In doing so\, he will discuss the integral role of curiosity in fueling his research and his passion for learning as a vocation. \n  \nLou Loftin is an educator with 27 years of experience spanning elementary teaching\, outdoor education\, instructional leadership\, and teacher training across northern Nevada. He served as the PreK–12 Science Learning Facilitator for Nevada’s Northwest Regional Professional Development Program\, supporting multiple counties and training teachers in standards-aligned\, research-based STEM instruction. Loftin also taught K–8 science methods at the University of Nevada\, Reno College of Education\, where he earned his B.S. in Physical Geography\, teaching certification\, and M.Ed. He has presented at numerous conferences\, including the National Science Teachers Association national conference\, and is recognized for his commitment to hands-on science learning and educator development. \nLou Loftin will tell the story of the powerful intersection of science and creativity by implementing field journals in his science lessons. By encouraging students to observe closely\, ask questions\, sketch\, and reflect\, he found that curiosity deepened and learning became more personal and meaningful. Loftin will share how blending artistic expression with scientific inquiry not only strengthens understanding but also helps learners see themselves as both scientists and creators—unlocking imagination as a tool for discovery. \n\nEugene Long is a fifth-generation farmer turned water scientist\, currently enrolled in the Hydrogeology Graduate Program at University of Nevada. Long’s work focuses on estimating groundwater availability and improving water data across Nevada.  \nLong will share a story that weaves together his roots in farming with the science and technology that will help us get a clearer estimation of groundwater in our Silver State. Long believes that understanding limited water resources is critical for the state’s future—especially for the farmers\, ranchers\, and rural communities most vulnerable to changing water patterns.  \n  \nFeaturing: \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 and our beverage sponsor 10 Torr Distillery and Brewery. \n             \n\nMap of DRI Reno Campus:

SUMMARY:The Weight of Water: Stories of Water’s Weight on Land and Heart
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that explores how water shapes our lives—physically\, historically\, and emotionally. Through science\, story\, and reflection\, this program invites you to consider the many forms water takes in our world: the floods that transform our cities\, the policies that define its use\, and the deeply human moments where its presence—or absence—carries the weight of memory\, loss\, and renewal. \nCome discover how water moves through landscapes and lives\, revealing the connections between environment\, community\, and the stories we carry. \nFeaturing Nevada Humanities local authors from Monsoon Season: Las Vegas Writers on Water in the Desert:\n• Geoff Schumacher will discuss the history of water use in Las Vegas\n• Scott Dickensheets will share his evolving relationship with water and the desert landscape \nThey’ll be joined by DRI’s Guo Yu\, who will discuss urban flooding and his journey as a scientist studying flood dynamics. \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nArrive early and take time to explore the Atomic Museum. Curiosity Lab attendees receive free access to the exhibits from 5:00–6:30 p.m. \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  \nNow a freelance writer and editor\, Scott Dickensheets has worked all over the Las Vegas media scene: most recently as a daily newsletterist for City Cast Las Vegas\, and before that as features editor of the Las Vegas Review-Journal\, deputy editor of Desert Companion magazine\, editor in chief of the local alt-weeklies CityLife and the Las Vegas Weekly\, and as an editor and columnist at the Las Vegas Sun. He also edited\, co-edited\, or contributed to eight volumes of the Las Vegas Writes book series; helped edit Nevada: 150 Years in the Silver State\, the official book of the Nevada sesquicentennial; co-edited the poetry anthology and workbook Sagebrush to Sandstone: A Humanities Guide to Outdoor Nevada; and is a long-serving member of the Las Vegas Book Festival’s programming committee.  \n  \nGeoff Schumacher is the vice president of exhibits and programs at The Mob Museum. He is the author of Sun\, Sin & Suburbia: A History of Modern Las Vegas and Howard Hughes: Power\, Paranoia & Palace Intrigue. He was a producer and writer for the documentary This Building of Ours: The Story of a Las Vegas Landmark. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Nevada\, Reno\, and his master’s degree in American history from Arizona State University. During his 25-year journalism career\, he worked at the Las Vegas Sun\, Las Vegas CityLife\, Las Vegas Mercury\, Las Vegas Review-Journal and Ames (Iowa) Tribune. He has been interviewed as a subject matter expert by the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, Los Angeles Times\, CNN\, PBS\, Paramount Plus\, History Channel and Travel Channel.  \n  \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities and Atomic Museum \n       \nMap of DRI’s Las Vegas Campus
