In a world filled with constant noise and distraction, the ability to slow down, observe, and stay curious matters more than ever. In this episode of Sparking Genius, Dianne Drew’s guest host Lesa Wang sits down with Andrew Farnsworth of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to explore how small moments of curiosity in our youngest learners can grow into a lifelong passion.

From spotting a bird at five years old to leading BirdCast, a project that tracks migration using radar, machine learning, and citizen science, Andrew shares how curiosity can evolve into meaningful work. They also discuss the role of mentorship, the power of observation at an early age, and how tools like Merlin Bird ID and eBird are opening science to everyone.

Listen now to explore how curiosity can shape learning and life.
