She looks for--and sees--fresh and beautiful things in the world around her, and she supports others in doing the same. Deanne encourages the rest of us to lean into creating--beauty, community, and time for ourselves. And she has thoughts about how curiosity can help.

An experienced multi-lingual education specialist and organization leader, Loretta Goodwin is passionate about creating innovative, “anywhere/anytime” learning environments for young people, especially underserved youth. She's also very curious about what AI offers her field -- and what it implies for all of us. So she undertook a 100-day learning journey. Lucky for us, she's got wonderful insights to share. It's a fascinating conversation about curiosity, productive struggle, creativity, bias, agency, inequity, and the joy of being a newbie.

If you came across something that promises to offer students "evidence-driven, rigorously tested ideas that consider alternative perspectives" wouldn't you be interested? Research shows that high school policy debate teaches students how to analyze, explore and understand the world around them, while it hones additional skills like research, critical thinking, and communication. Sounds like a curiosity enterprise to me! Delighted to have David Trigaux of Washington Urban Debate League join me to discuss.

Ep. #264: Curiosity Is Taking Neuroscience to New Frontiers, with Jacqueline Gottlieb 28:00

منذ 4 weeks28:00

28:00

Six years ago I sat down with Jacqueline Gottlieb, Ph.D., Professor of Neuroscience and Principal Investigator at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute, the very first neuroscientist I’d ever interviewed. It was a delightful and far-ranging conversation. At some point she made a bold and quite tantalizing statement. “Curiosity," she said, "is going to take neuroscience to the next frontier.” Today we check in on that assertion. We talked about visual systems, value systems, motivation, cognition, personality psychology, stress tolerance, introversion, extroversion and why it's a good idea for scientists to talk to one another.

How does choosing to be curious about the people and places around us help us discover, elevate and amplify history that's perhaps less well-known? In this third episode of the "Mile in Their Shoes" series, we use the Mount Vernon Trail as a vehicle for tracing our shared history, with the help of a local museum, a local government, and an independent journalist.

Ep. #259: We Are All Birders, with Maria-Elena Montero 28:00

منذ 13 weeks28:00

28:00

Birds seem like a delightful lens through which to view curiosity: Here’s a species that lives among us, is literally part of the scenery, but to which many of us are almost entirely blind. But when we choose to be curious about birds, suddenly it's like a whole new universe emerges in our own backyards. We see things we didn’t see before. We hear things we didn’t hear before. We learn things we didn’t know before. You can imagine my delight when I stumbled on María-Elena Montero, president of the DC Bird Alliance. She leapt at the chance to talk about birds--as well as some of the curiosity practices and life lessons to be learned from observing our avian friends.

I don’t subscribe to the idea that some people are curious eaters while others just aren't. I think we may have a baseline of food curiosity, but I also think that baseline can shift. And I imagine that’s what caught my attention when I spotted The 2024 Consumer Curiosity Report – findings from a survey of 850+ early food adopters, conducted by Curious Plot, a marketing, communications and consulting agency. It seemed like the curiosity intersection of our appetites, opportunities and influences, and I wanted to know more.

Ep. #256: Curiosity & the Gift of Uncertainty, with Maggie Jackson 28:00

منذ 17 weeks28:00

28:00

It may be hard to think about "uncertainty" as a good things right now, but hear me out. Certain words keep coming up in this curiosity context: exploration, innovation, creativity, trust-building, learning -- and uncertainty. Not the "uncertainty" of the world today--which feels very heavy right now--but the "uncertainty" of allowing room for new thoughts... And along comes Maggie Jackson, award-winning author and journalist, with a best-selling, thought-provoking and profoundly timely book on the power and potential of our own uncertainty. Maggie wrote in a New York Times guest essay earlier this year, “We should rethink our outdated notions of not-knowing as weakness, and instead discover this mindset as a strength.” So, of course, my mind goes to choosing to be curious.

Periodically I set myself a curiosity scavenger hunt theme with a fixed duration – 77 days of feet, a long hot summer of art, a month of biophilia, a week in the kitchen – and then I just keep my eyes open and my camera handy. It's a joy. The thrill of the hunt; the challenge and delight in finding something new in the very familiar; the excuse to get outdoors, whatever the weather; the visual puns; the surprisingly sentimental moments -- all culled from the everyday world around me. It is very much in the spirit of what journalist and author Rob Walker would call “The Art of Noticing.” Find Rob Walker on Substack: https://robwalker.substack.com Theme music by Sean Balick; “Inessential” by Bayou Birds, via Blue Dot Sessions.…

I found myself thinking about the exquisite agony of a Hitchcock suspense when I came upon an article in Scientific American, "Why Curiosity Makes Us Patient." Abby Hsuing & Alison Adcock assert curiosity makes us hungry for knowledge, but not necessarily in a hurry to get it. It's a finding that runs in the face of a whole lot of curiosity theory that supposes curiosity is an urgent desire to know, now. But here is research saying: slow down -- it’s more interesting than that.

The big questions of astrophysicist Mario Livio's new book Is Earth Exceptional?

Dr. Livio worked with the Hubble Space Telescope and is a bestselling author of seven books. Together with Jack Szostak, a biochemist and Nobel laureate, he's written a kind of cosmic “what-dunnit” that shifts between the many and various disciplines that may someday provide the answers they seek about life's origins.

Curiosity, biodiversity, rewilding -- these are the exciting places Carolin Sommer-Trembo Ph.D. takes us today. Carolin is an evolutionary biologist. Her big goal is to focus attention on animal behavior as it effects evolution and biodiversity. To get there, she has studied curiosity in cichlid fish in Africa's Lake Tanganyika, combining some good old-fashioned field work with exciting new investigative tools, including AI and genetic scissors. I came to the conversation interested in the curiosity angle, but Carolin's impassioned case for the importance of this basic research to eventually rebuilding vanishing biodiversity -- and the aforementioned "rewilding" -- puts the discussion on another level entirely. Curiosity doesn't only promote biodiversity, it might just save us all.

Can curiosity be meaingfully infused into design processes? Cassini Nazir thinks so.

Ep. #233: Curiosity & Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense, with Saul Perlmutter 28:00

منذ 39 weeks28:00

28:00

"We live in an experimenting society" Nobel Laureate Saul Perlmutter reassures us, "The fact that we can use partial information and do better is actually one of our superpowers." Third Millennium Thinking: Creating Sense in a World of Nonsense by Saul Perlmutter, John Campbell and Robert MacCoun takes the optimism and tools of science and helps us apply them to the everyday. They help us think about how we think, taking our values and fears into account, but not being overwhelmed by them.

EP. #232: Beautiful Questions, with Warren Berger 28:00

منذ 41 weeks28:00

28:00

It’s been ten years since self-described “questionologist" Warren Berger first published his best-selling book A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas. Now, more than ever, we need the power and importance of thoughtful — and, as he would say: beautiful — questions. And what of the intersection of curiosity and questions? What’s their relationship? And how might we leverage both, in service of the things we value? “The more curiosity there is, the better your questions will be…If your questions don’t have curiosity in them, then they’re almost like not even questions. They’re inauthentic.” ~ Warren Berger Find Warren Berger at: https://amorebeautifulquestion.com Theme music by Sean Balick; “The Envelope” by Aeronaut, via Blue Dot Sessions.…

Ep. #229: Literary Agent Kayla Lightner Is Looking for Fearless Curiosity 28:00

منذ 43 weeks28:00

28:00

A few months ago, I got a text message from a friend: “I’m at a writing conference,” she typed, “listening to a panel of agents answer the question 'What are you looking for?' Kayla’s answer began: 'I’m looking for fearless curiosity.'” Kayla Lightner is a writer and a literary agent with Ayesha Panda Literary. Together we explored how she knows "fearless curiosity" when she sees it; how agents partner with and champion writers; what about the job makes her come alive -- and her scariest power; being an open and adventurous reader; the indulgence of centering our curiosity; and coming into her own professional power with fearless curiosity.

Ep. #228: Wrestling with Questions, with Ken Woodward 28:00

منذ 45 weeks28:00

We talk a lot about questions here on Choose to Be Curious. But talking about questions is one thing, really wresting with them is another. Ken Woodward not only curates questions, he leans into them. Big time. And that has changed his life in ways large and small that are an inspiration to me. I think they will be for you, as well. “Wrestling with the questions has allowed me space for me to work through the emotions, the thoughts, the processing. All of that comes through questioning, doing some journaling, and kind of making my way through that challenge.” ~ Ken Woodward Check out Ken's Curated Questions: https://www.curatedquestions.com Theme music by Sean Balick; “Four Point Path“ by The Bulwark, via Blue Dot Sessions.…
