Intro

Internationally-known astrophysicist and author Dr. Mario Livio joins me to talk about what makes us curious, why we want kids to ask lots of questions and why a "curiosity epidemic" would be a good thing. Dr. Livio is the author of several books, including "Why? What Makes Us Curious" (2017) and "Brilliant Blunders" (2013, one of WaPo's "Best Books of the Year"). You can see why I wanted to talk with him...As he puts it, "Curiosity and a #2 pencil will take you far." Join us next time when we try something a little different: the search for a father not seen since childhood, told in four voices. Sondra's Story - "You Can't Help But Want to Know"
