Each session delivers sharp insights and fresh discoveries—all in 30 minutes. No science background required—just curiosity.
About the Curiosity Collective
If you love asking questions and exploring how the world works, you belong here!
The Curiosity Collective brings together alumni, lifelong learners, community members, and anyone curious about our planet. Through lively learning experiences, we open doors to the groundbreaking research taking place at OSU.
Developed in partnership with the scientists of CEOAS, the Collective connects you with bold new ideas, the latest discoveries, and the people behind them.
What to Expect
Quarterly Virtual Science Sessions
Every season, join us for a 30 minute virtual talk with a CEOAS researcher sharing cutting edge work, followed by live Q&A and interactive conversation. These sessions are designed to be approachable, deeply engaging, and easy to fit into your schedule.
Meet the Scientists Behind the Discoveries
Hear directly from experts who investigate oceans, climate systems, hazards, geoscience, and the environments that shape life on our planet. Learn what motivates their work, what new questions they’re chasing, and why their discoveries matter right now.
Future In-Person Experiences
As the community grows, we plan to introduce additional to explore science up close, such as:
- Behind the scenes lab tours
- Research poster mixers
- Field and facility visits
- Expedition related experiences
- Community science activities
Upcoming Events
Stay tuned for new opportunities to learn, connect, and explore with CEOAS researchers. Check back for the latest events and special opportunities as they are added throughout the year.
