With creativity and verve, Dr. Joe Schwarcz answers your burning questions about science and life in these digestible and accessible short essays

Dr. Joe and What You Didn’t Know acts as both the source and satiation of scientific curiosity through a series of 177 chemistry-related questions and answers designed to both inform and entertain. From the esoteric to the everyday, the topics Dr. Joe Schwarcz tackles range from Beethoven’s connection to plumbing to why rotten eggs smell like rotten eggs.
