Hi, I’m a high school student in Montana and we read your questions everyday in class. It just so happens one of my classmates happens to be a godly superhero named John Harrington. He is a saint among the science world and deserves worldwide recognition for his outstanding intelligence, diligence, and good looks. So if you could please shock my science teacher and respond to this question, the mighty John Harrington just might smile upon you…MAN.

Someone just wrote me to say a colleague of his in medical school is currently writing a paper about how wolverines exude some chemical that causes uncontrollable farting in humans. He did not specify if the wolverines must be live. This sounds improbable to me but I figured you’d know and probably have some wolverines handy. Or at least badgers. Have you done clinical research on this topic?

Dear Dr. Science;
If I were to put various vegetables into a particle accelerator, would we be successful in filling in the missing elements in the periodic table of vitamins? (For example, we have B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9 and B12. Where is B4, B8, B10 and B11?) Could we also create “corniflower” and perhaps even find the elusive “anti-calorie?” Why isn’t the government thowing billions of dollars at this? The Europeans are clearly ahead, as my sources have told me that the Italians have already developed “anti-pasto.”
Please enlighten us all!
Is there a podcast for Ask Dr. Science? One of my favorite shows. it aired at 1:30 pm for many years on my local public radio station (KSUT). Even though broadcasts stopped several years ago, I still look wistfully at my radio every weekday at 1:30. So sad. Please come back. At least send occasional missives into the broadcast/podcast worlds… I am not complete without updates from Dr. Science. He’s smarter than I am.
