DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
Every once in a while it is worth taking a step back from everything going on around you
Everything going on at work
Everything going on in your home life / social life
Everything going on in the news around the country and around the world
Set it all aside for a moment, it’ll be there when you are done here…
Take this moment.
And ask yourself a question…
If I could learn something new, what would I most like to learn about…
And whatever comes to mind, whatever peaks your interest,
Whatever subject occurs to you that you do not know as much as you would like to
Do some digging, some reading, googling, youtubing or do some testing, some experiments…
Feed that curiosity with a bit of research…
The mindset of inquiry isn’t limited to a lab bench or a massive data set
It is something you can take with you anywhere you go
And if you follow where it leads you might just find yourself
Listening to another episode of…
This Week in Science,
Coming up next…
First up, the BIG science news stories of the week!
