Absolutely agree!!
Scientific inquiry is driven by unspoken motivations—awe and wonder. I explore how visual storytelling can surface these invisible forces behind research narratives.
I’ll be exploring this theme during my talk at the Royal Geographical Society Conference, Birmingham, this Aug.

Thought-provoking essay on the importance of awe (yes, really) in and for science. It helps scientists imagine, it motivates us, it promotes uptake of new ideas …. For me, awe of nature also keeps me grounded, resilient, happy. #ProfLife aeon.co/essays/how-a...
