Driven by Curiosity

The
Curiosity Gap

Through great storytelling and visuals, Driven by Curiosity highlights how UC Davis applies its collective strengths to explore issues in the world we are all wondering about — whether that involves how researchers are delving into immigration challenges; how they are looking at the universe beyond earth; and how they are analyzing new developments in K-12 education, innovating new technologies and finding new uses for old ones, or exploring troubling social issues ranging from teen bullying to domestic violence. We got it covered.
