Jake Tibbitts has supported Nevada agriculture throughout his career, both through his position as the natural resources manager for Eureka County, Nevada, and his volunteer service, representing University of Nevada, Reno with the national Council for Agricultural Research, Extension and Teaching.

Learn more Jake and his service in this Q&A!

Q: How does funding for research, education and Extension help your community?

A: I live in a very rural area, and my community’s long-term socioeconomic stability is reliant on natural resources use, primarily farming and ranching. We are also water limited.

Sustainable and modern farming and ranching research developed by our ag Experiment Station and disseminated through Extension, including irrigation water-use efficiency, w**d control and nutrient management, has been a major component of keeping our farms and ranches in operation.

Many of our farmers and ranchers, including many of their sons and daughters, were educated through the land-grant system and have returned to run the family operations.

Further, the efforts by the University to promote and deliver rural economic development has had real impact here.

Apply the science of nutrition in real time!

Students step into the lab to explore how nutrition principles translate into everyday food choices and overall health, connecting lecture concepts to real-world applications through hands-on activities. They conducted an experiment that revealed how “invisible" fats in fast foods like hamburgers and chicken nuggets can be made visible, bringing food composition and nutrient analysis to life.

Through this experience, students:
• Analyze the nutritional components of foods
• Evaluate nutrient needs and dietary patterns
• Apply nutrition principles to real-life meal planning
• Build practical skills for making informed food choices

This engaging activity not only reinforced key scientific concepts but also challenged students to think more critically about what’s in their food.

This is part of Human Nutrition (NUTR 121), a foundational course taught by Director of the Didactic Program in Dietetics, Jolyn Wirshing, with lab sections led by graduate students — giving students a well-rounded understanding of the role of nutrition in health and wellness.

Interested in taking this class? Register for the fall semester.
