"Despite extensive global connectivity and rapid dissemination of ideas, much of the world remains unexplored. Although physical occupation of a space is almost completely lost as an exploratory avenue, we still lack even basic knowledge about many seemingly common phenomena. A simple curiosity about the natural world and its inhabitants, combined with perseverance and passion for discovery can go a long way toward advancing our understanding of the world around us. Never stop asking questions and pushing boundaries because you think [or are told] something has already been explored."
