For 250 years, discovery, courage, and tenacity have driven this country forward and will continue to. From medicine to infrastructure to breakthroughs we can't yet imagine, science touches every part of daily life because someone, somewhere followed their curiosity. What are you curious about?  #CuriosityOnAMission curiositymission.org/

Some of the most important things in life feel ordinary, until you stop and think about what makes them possible. A cure. A car. A comet. Someone right now is chasing answers to questions we haven't even asked yet. This is #CuriosityOnAMission. 🔬 What are you curious about? curiositymission.org/

Science is Curiosity on a Mission: It includes all of us who ask "why" and make it our mission to find out. These are the discoveries that move the country forward. The pursuit of ideas that seemed impossible until they weren’t. #CuriosityOnAMission
