Hey there Curious people!!! I'm in my second week of classes now... having a great time. This week in my script analysis class we've been dissecting Hamlet. And it kinda made me wonder something. I mean, chances are, every single one of you has been exposed to Hamlet in some way, right? So... if you could ask any one question about Hamlet - the story, the characters, that scene you never understood why it was in there, that speech your English teacher skipped over - what question would you ask?… Continue

So…here we are. The beginning of the “Where Did Jenn Go?” era of the Curiosity Team. Yes, it’s scary. There is no way to overstate how pivotal Jennifer Goff has been in the creation and success of the Curiosity Team (that’s why it takes two of us to replace her).

Should I be worried that I'm never curious when it's time to make the kids dinner, desiring reliability and consistency in the Mac and Cheese vs. "what would this taste like if I put chili pepper sauce in it?" What is the satisfaction that brought the cat… Continue

“Curiosity killed the cat.” What an awful saying. But what else is it they say? “Satisfaction brought him back.” That’s more along the lines of what we’re talking about here. Curiosity is a virtue! Welcome to the Brand New Curiosity Team Blog! We’re glad to see our old curious friends here, as well as new ones who’ve recently joined us. Why the new site you ask? Well ‘cause we’re big believers that great ideas come from two-way, three-way, many-way conversations – and we wanted to give you guys… Continue
