Getting Out There

Photographs by Christian Whiting

We're all born scientists. As children, we struggle mightily to understand the world. Before life is sorted and everything given a name, we are the fearless explorers of our own unknowns. Then we grow up. We change. Perhaps we do not study science at all. But at heart we're still scientists, because we're still seekers. We remain curious, dauntless, bold. We seize weekends and mountains with friends in tow, lay plans, draw maps, and sail for our own shores of discovery.
