“Constant Wonder, Awe-Awakening, & Life Science”
Isness and Howness beg the question of Whyness. The latter of the three is the “well-spring question,” always attended by awe and wonder. What is the powerful dynamic of deep wonder and sacred awe? How do these illuminate the aspirations and duties of a life scientist? Marcus Smith, host of BYUradio’s Constant Wonder podcast, encourages a mode of study, thought, action, and feeling that puts the strongest check on our all-too human inclination to normalize creation. With a master’s in German literature, Marcus has worked as a writer, editor, teacher, radio talent, and a composer of sacred music. He adores cute kids, fine poetry, avocets, pikas, Mirabilis multiflora stumbled upon in the wild, and chocolatey truffles.
