Issue: July 14, 2016

Hi there readers,
Welcome to this week's Reno News & Review.
We've already had a few smoky days this summer due to wildfires. In this
week's feature story, freelance environmental writer Alastair Bland
explains why we can expect a few more.
Ever thought it wasn't fair that science education is just for kids?
Well, it's not. For this week's Green, Josie Luciano talked with the
Discovery Museum about adult-only programs in robotics,
fermentation—and, for this week, urban sustainability.
And get ready to spend the next few scorching-hot days and nights
catching up on summer movies in the theater after you get schooled by
Bob Grimm, who personally suffered through this year's worst Hollywood
flops so you wouldn't have to. He found a few good ones too. His full
report card is now available.
As always, be sure to pick up a newsprint copy of the paper for
exclusive columns, cartoons and paper cuts.
Thanks for reading. You're the best audience an independent alt weekly
could ask for.
