Adventure…

According to Wikipedia:

An adventure is an exciting experience that is typically a bold, sometimes risky, undertaking. Adventures may be activities with some potential for physical danger such as traveling, exploring, skydiving, mountain climbing, scuba diving, river rafting or participating in extreme sports.

And while risking life and limb may seem adventurous to some…

There is another form of adventure that requires less limblessness…

Science.

Every question posed

Every experiment run

Every data set examined

Is an adventure into the unknown

An adventure into unexplored territory

An intellectual sky dive into a world we often learn we just barely know

And while getting to know the one world we are living on

There are (understatement) many more places beyond our world that we have yet to explore

So if adventure is your thing

Pack your bags and get ready to take on anything that comes your way here on

This Week in Science,

Coming Up Next…
