I photograph, record, and write about the natural world. I see, I listen, I write. I fundamentally believe that curiosity can save the world—so I publish stories to make people curious.

He said it was his curiosity, he asked questions and was sincere.
When I saw this podcast on LinkedIn I went to iTunes and am hooked.
Thank you Dr Shepard for sharing your curiosity with all of us!
Curiosity is one of those funny things that can sometimes get hungrier after it is fed, and the Natural Curiosity Project has a way of simultaneously satisfying my curiosity and driving my desire to keep learning. What a delightful paradox!
