The abrupt substitution of Kamala Harris for Joe Biden as the Democratic party’s presidential nominee has energized two of the party’s bedrock bases of support – pro-choice women and African Americans – along with millions of young voters who felt dismay at the Hobson’s choice posed by two old white guys in the presidential contest.

The new school year begins Monday morning after summer-long efforts by the Clark County School District to fill classroom vacancies, combat chronic absenteeism and improve school safety.

The Clark County School District (CCSD) Class of 2024-2025 will receive a graduation cap in May, but will also see their grade point averages (GPA) capped this year. Grade point averages will also be capped at 4.95, maximizing the potential number of students in the running to be valedictorian. The first class affected by this change was the Class of 2024, which graduated earlier this year.

It used to be a Las Vegas hot tip: go off the Strip to Chinatown for the city’s best food. Now there is not just one Chinatown in Nevada’s biggest metropolis but two, and a variety of Asian cuisines can be found across the city.

Vice President Kamala Harris was welcomed to the stage at Thomas & Mack Center on the UNLV campus by her VP pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, in what was the first glimpse of the Democratic Presidential running mates in the state of Nevada.

Maybe people can control time — or their perception of it, anyway. A new paper written by UNLV Professor of Psychology James Hyman and published recently in Current Biology shows that the way people experience time has less to do with the physical hands of a clock, and more to do with the number of experiences in that given period of time.

Inner speaking, inner seeing, feelings, sensory awareness, unsymbolized thinking. Do we all have the same inner experiences? And how aware are we of what we actually experience from moment to moment?

What did it take for Allie Wilson to make her first Olympic team? If you ask her, it wasn’t a physical breakthrough on the track—it was the work she’s been doing “upstairs.”

We often think our brains tick away time in perfect synchronization with the clocks on our walls and electronic devices. However, groundbreaking research published in the journal Current Biology provides evidence that our perception of time is not governed by an internal clock but by the number of experiences we have. This study found that changes in brain activity patterns, specifically in the anterior cingulate cortex, indicate that our brains track the passage of time based on the accumulation of experiences rather than a steady internal clock.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ rapid rise to the top of Democratic ticket hasn’t just reset the 2024 presidential election — it may have disrupted the battle over the Senate majority taking place in the West. Nevada, Arizona and Montana are three of a handful of “toss-up” Senate seats Democrats are defending to retain a majority in Congress’ upper chamber where they currently govern with 51 seats compared to Republicans’ 49.
