Senate committee advances bill to create ‘988’ mental health hotline, set plan for allocating opioid settlement funds

Wednesday, April 21, 2021 1:00 AM

A legislative committee unanimously passed a bill that would create a state fund to house proceeds from opioid settlements, such as those against prominent pharmaceutical companies accused of helping fuel the opioid crisis.
It also would establish a behavioral health crisis hotline using a federally mandated 988 phone number, rather than a longer and harder-to-remember 10-digit number for a suicide hotline.
“This one I have a particularly high level of enthusiasm for because I think both of the components in this bill had the opportunity to really move the needle in our behavioral health,” Sen. Julia Ratti (D-Sparks) said during a hearing of the bill, SB390, on Thursday evening.

Professor’s invention from over a century ago impacts ‘snow science’

Wednesday, April 21, 2021 1:00 AM

James Church was a man with many hats. As a professor of Classics at the University of Nevada, Reno, he taught a variety of subjects related to the arts, including literature and art history. Then, as he spent more time in the Reno area, he discovered his love for snow and mountains through his many mountaineering excursions in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, where he would become fascinated with the science behind snow and the water it contained.
This fascination eventually resulted in the creation of the “Mt. Rose snow sampler,” a device that would have implications all over the world and is still used today, more than a century later.
