Many of us got into academia to learn and expand our knowledge.
Along the way came deadlines, obligations, and many many requirements just to continue being a part of the scientific community.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you read something because you were curious and wanted to know more?
If it's been a minute then consider trying to sculpt time for yourself to read up on whatever interests you.

So with that said try to find some time to keep that spark of curiosity in you going strong.
You never know what kind of awesome things you will uncover just by looking in places others around haven't.
