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? https://t.co/rErxJSaMwa
