You don’t have to go through it alone. 💛

This Su***de Prevention Week, and in recognition of World Su***de Prevention Day, we’re sharing the story of Daniel Trugman, associate professor in the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, who opened up about his mental health journey and the importance of reaching out for help.

His story is a powerful reminder that asking for support is a sign of strength and that progress doesn’t always happen all at once. Sometimes, it’s about taking one small step, then another.

Read his story and learn more about his journey, finding balance and discovering that the things we never thought possible can become possible, one step at a time.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Students can also connect with Counseling Services for confidential mental health support at 775-784-4648. 💙

What if you could get a few precious seconds of warning before an earthquake hits? 🌎

That could soon become a reality for Nevadans! 👏

Researchers at the Nevada Seismological Laboratory (NSL) at the University of Nevada, Reno are working with the U.S. Geological Survey to bring ShakeAlert earthquake early warning to Nevada, potentially giving people critical seconds to Drop, Cover and Hold On before strong shaking arrives.

Nevada is the third most seismically active state, and NSL researchers are already providing seismic data that contributes to earthquake alerts in California. Now, they're helping develop a plan to expand that protection across the Silver State.

From protecting communities to helping safeguard critical infrastructure, scientists and researchers at the University of Nevada, Reno are working toward a safer Nevada. 🐺💙

Every landscape holds questions waiting to be explored. 🏔️🔬

In this week’s Summer Science Snapshot, we’re heading into the mountains, where researchers collect water samples, and study alpine ecosystems that reveal how our environment is changing over time.

Science doesn’t just happen in the lab; sometimes it begins on the trail.
