“Sometimes I find one thing and then end up wondering about loads of other things.”
Some things Rowan finds for himself. Others begin with something somebody tells him, something he learns at school or something he notices in the world around him.
However it begins, once something makes him curious, he wants to know more.
Someone noticed a tiny piece of seaweed before Rowan’s dad was even his age. For years, nobody knew exactly what it was. Now they finally do. In Rowan’s latest article, he follows the strange story of something that wasn’t really new at all.

Read Rowan's ArticleAn article does not begin when Rowan starts writing.
It begins earlier, when something makes him stop:
“Wait… really?”
Then he looks closer. He asks questions, finds out what he can and sometimes goes back to look again.
That is how one small moment of curiosity becomes one of Rowan’s articles.

New articles will appear here as Rowan’s collection grows.
Sometimes Rowan begins by asking about an animal, a plant or a place.
But one question can lead him somewhere he did not expect.
Why can one small bird become part of somebody’s life?
Why do certain places still matter after we have left them?
Why do we care about living things we may never meet?
Rowan’s articles do not always end where they began.
Sometimes learning about the living world reveals something about our relationship with it too.
Some discoveries are closer than we think.
You don’t have to know what you’re looking for.
Sometimes it’s the bird that keeps appearing in the same place.
The plant growing through a crack.
Something moving through the garden after dark.
Or a living thing you’ve walked past a hundred times without ever wondering what it was.
Here’s a question for you:
What has made you curious lately?
There’s always something else to notice.
