Here are the top 3 stories in Reno today:
- This past spring, two medical students from the University of Nevada, Reno partnered up with the Nevada Cancer Coalition at the Center for Molecular Medicine to host a free skin cancer screening clinic. It was open to all University students and personnel. The two students, Lourdes Valdez and Ramneek Dhami, hosted the event during Skin Cancer Awareness month "in the hopes of promoting preventative skin cancer measures and healthy sun safety practices." (Nevada Today)
- Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Title IX, and people nationwide have taken the time to remember its significance and contribution to gender equality. During the past 50 years, Title IX has been able to provide support in the push forward for women's equality in sports. In the coming years, people hope that this progress will also be able to be reflected in aspects of the education system as well. (KOLO)
- A woman is currently in custody after being suspected in a two-crash case. According to reports, the first crash took place yesterday morning at around 6:30 a.m. near mile marker 4 in the Verdi area. Soon after, the suspect tried to flee the scene. While speeding away in the wrong direction, she hit another vehicle a few moments after near Pyramid Way and Prater way. (KRNV)

Are you a Reno resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?
Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.
Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.
Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:
- Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
- Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
- Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
