How Curiosity Enhances Personal Happiness
John (Jeb) Hallett, MD, has been curious all
his life, exploring the hills of western Virginia
as a child, exploring leadership at the US Air
Force Academy, and exploring advances in
biologic research at Duke Medical School.
As a clinical professor at MUSC and chief
medical officer at the Roper Saint Francis
