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:Mapping the Invisible: Stories of Hidden Forces That Shape our World
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening that reveals the powerful forces we rarely see but live with every day. Through science\, data\, creativity\, and human insight\, this program explores the hidden patterns\, risks\, and influences that shape our lives—from dangers that lie beneath the surface to the subtle currents that guide our decisions\, behaviors\, and relationships. \nWe’ll look at efforts to detect threats earlier and more accurately\, as well as stories that illuminate the psychological\, social\, and artistic forces that influence how we understand the world around us. \nCome discover how mapping the invisible—whether through research\, reflection\, or imagination—can deepen awareness\, expand possibility\, and help us navigate the unseen with greater clarity and care. \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. \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nPurchase Tickets!  \nStorytellers:  \nJustin Toller is a geophysicist at the Desert Research Institute\, where he leads and collaborates with multidisciplinary teams on Department of Defense projects focused on detecting landmines and characterizing environments that challenge mobility and communication. Their work applies advanced geophysical techniques to address complex\, real-world problems. \nJustin holds a Masters of Science in Geophysics\, a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Astronomy from Northern Arizona University\, with minors in Philosophy and Mathematics. During his studies\, he worked at Lowell Observatory as both an educator and research assistant\, balancing research with delivering engaging science lectures to diverse audiences. This experience sparked a lasting passion for science communication\, which he hoped to continue alongside his research. At the core of his work is a drive to learn\, grow\, and create positive change through science\, education\, and meaningful collaboration. \n  \nDiana Monnette is an Investigative Genetic Genealogist and the Assistant Director of Wolf Pack DNA. She received her BS in history from Oregon State University and earned a Certificate of Investigative Genetic Genealogy from Ramapo College of New Jersey. She worked as a journalist and later in the field of social media management for 15 years before pivoting to the field of IGG. Diana has always had a passion for family genealogy and history\, and in recent years developed a deep interest in the power of genetic genealogy\, particularly its application to resolving cases of unidentified human remains. \nDiana will focus on two cases of unidentified human remains solved using the power of Investigative Genetic Genealogy. She will start with a brief introduction to the practice\, and then tie that to two recent solved cases with Wolf Pack DNA. \n  \nLinda Alterwitz is an independent interdisciplinary artist with a focus on photography. Her practice envisions the unseen rhythms of the human body and our relationship to the natural world\, encouraging dialog around choice\, trust\, and collective experience. Viewing art as a catalyst for change\, Alterwitz uses creative expression to engage complex societal challenges. By integrating the authenticity of science and the communicative power of art\, she bridges the visible and the unseen\, inviting viewers to reimagine their connections to one another and to the world around them.  \nAlterwitz’s reflection on Covid-19\, Injection Site\, will be on exhibit at the Ulrich Museum of Art in Wichita\, KS (2026) and her first published monograph\, Injection Site\, is currently in production with MW Editions\, New York\, NY (2026). Her work has been featured in The New York Times\, Smithsonian Magazine\, Orion Magazine\, Black & White Photography (UK)\, Lenscratch\, Musée Magazine\, and The New Statesman\, among others.  \n  \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities & Atomic Museum. \n

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening steeped in mystery and shadow as we explore the stories that linger where certainty fades. This event invites you into the realm of unsolved puzzles\, elusive evidence\, and the echoes of lives that slipped beneath the surface. \nWoven alongside this scientific investigation\, storytellers will share tales of forgotten histories\, spectral memories\, and the thin veil between what we know and what we can only imagine. Held near Halloween\, Vanishing Point invites you to sit with the uncanny—where disappearances raise questions\, remnants whisper back\, and the past flickers like a ghost just out of view. \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. \n$15 – General Admission\n$10 – Discounted Tickets for Students and Educators \nPurchase Tickets!  \nThank you to our community partners Nevada Humanities & Atomic Museum. \n     \n
