J.R.R.Tolkien wrote "Still round the corner there may wait / A new road or a secret gate" He was writing about an exotic land far from here, but the same sense of adventure can inform our local explorations. Elliot Carter, DC Chief Explorer for Atlas Obscura, joins me to talk about choosing to be curious about the the world's hidden wonders in our own backyards. Join me next time when Naren Ramakrishnan of Virginia Tech's Discovery Analytics Center explores curiosity, big data and flu forecasting.
