Curiosity in Focus

Daniel dives into the world of materials engineering as he discusses the creation of the world's first human-powered helicopter with engineer Aidan Muller! As usual, things take a turn for the random as space elevators, high tech bikes, and Wikipedia all fall under discussion!

Based in Toronto, Curiosity in Focus emerged as a way to capture the conversations Daniel has when learning about and from really interesting people. Short and simply, it's a record of conversations that Daniel finds really freaking cool. He's curious about the world, and is looking to find order in the intellectual chaos surrounding him. Listen bi-weekly as he tackles the unknown – but definitely cool – world we live in. From computer hackers to witchcraft, anything and everything is possible.

Get ready for perhaps the most personally revealing episode of the podcast yet! Kiron Mukherjee is a science communicator, social media master, and one of my closest friends. For the inaugural episode of Season Two of the Really Fucking Cool Podcast, we decided to sit down and chat about how social media has transformed our friendship, our YEAR LONG Snapchat streak, and the stresses of having a social media following while working in countries with questionable internet.

Happy New Year! While we at Curiosity in Focus strongly disagree with the notion of waiting until the new year to make a change in your life, we thought it'd be a good idea to post an update regarding the future of the series!
