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 storytelling that delves into the roots of curiosity and its enduring connection to the natural world. From personal journeys of discovery to family traditions that spark a lifelong fascination with nature, Roots of Wonder invites you to explore how our curiosity shapes our understanding of the world around us and inspires creativity in unexpected ways.

Featured storyteller: Sean McKenna, Ph.D., executive director, Division of Hydrologic Sciences at DRI. Sean will tell the story of how curiosity about the natural world and its effects on humans seems to be a trait handed down from generation to generation.
