This video by @HitchScienceUNR reporter @RayGrosser is a must-watch for moose lovers of Nevada and one of my favorite stories of the semester 🫎

[Hitchcock Project for Visualizing Science @HitchScienceUNR]

Moose are in Nevada! If you find yourself in the Northwestern part of the state, keep an eye out for these magnificent animals. 👀🫎 And check out this cool animated short by student @RayGrosser89064 at the Hitchcock Project.

Climate change affects everyone, but not equally! This is the final project that @VanesadelaCruz_ presented for her master's in Media Innovation at @RSJNevada. It combines videos, podcasts, and photos from three different locations in the Americas: 🌎

Did you know that all of the digital information we save comes at a big environmental cost?
According to @ENERGY, data centers use approximately 2% of our nation's electricity-and will only continue to grow.

"...scientists say that home rearing and commercial breeding of monarchs — and the release of them at weddings, funerals, and other events — is one of biggest threats the butterfly now faces."

Fascinating story about Eastern #monarchs & impact of human "help" @HitchScienceUNR

[Yale Environment 360 @YaleE360]

“Everything we thought we knew about the monarch population is wrong."

New research finds Eastern monarchs are not in danger of disappearing, as once believed.

But, experts say, people who breed the butterflies at home are disrupting their migration.

Thanks so much @KyRoBiz for coming to visit our class yesterday and telling us about your @MeadowsTruckee datasets! So many stories waiting to be told!

[Kylie Rowe @KyRoBiz]

A racecar driver walked on campus today to guest lecture in @RSJNevada course 756 to discuss the work @MeadowsTruckee will do next year in data + impact storytelling (and also recruit some future interns—these students are smart!). 🎃🤓
