Nevada Humanities is partnering with the Desert Research Institute on a new series of events in Reno and Las Vegas. Curiosity Lab by DRI 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 of captivating stories that explore our human connections to winter. From the wonder of snowfall and the traditions it inspires to the science that unravels its mysteries, Chasing Snow celebrates the many ways winter shapes our lives. Through diverse perspectives, we will uncover tales of discovery, creativity, and the enduring allure of the cold season. Come ready to be inspired.
Featured storyteller: Anne Heggli, Ph.D., assistant research professor, mountain hydrometeorology, Division of Atmospheric Sciences at DRI. Anne’s story will weave together her upbringing on the American River, her family’s history in snow monitoring, and her research in the Snake Range in Eastern Nevada (partially funded by the Long Now Foundation).
