Winging It! From Curiosity to a Scientific Fact

  • Summary

  • We’re going to be a different kind of science podcast. Most science podcasts are about finished science—refined, cleaned up, and previously published in peer-reviewed literature. In this one, we will start with curiosity and work towards scientific discovery and publication at the end. Darwin began his discoveries with a voyage around the world on the HMS Beagle. He observed. He reported his observations. And born out of his unrelenting curiosity made THE most important discovery in the last two centuries—Evolution through natural selection (move over Einstein, you were bested).

    This is also about birds. About listening to birds. About finding how birds live. So join us. Let’s get curious, and then let’s get full-on sciency. We are going to have fun.
