Ep. #99: Neurodiverse Curiosity, with Kristy Johnson

Kristy Johnson, now a post doc at MIT Media Lab, believes we're thinking about curiosity all wrong -- and leaving out a huge swath of the human experience while we're at it. She offers an exciting alternative: define curiosity as the ways in which an individual excels in exploring, and then go from there. The latest in our Curiosity Studies series. More about Kristy here: https://www.media.mit.edu/people/ktj/overview/ More about the Lab School: https://www.labschool.org Theme music by Sean Balick. Special thanks to Noel Bicknell and his students at The Lab School for their added wisdom and delightful sound effects.
