CrowdScience from the BBC World Service takes listener questions about life, Earth and the universe to researchers hunting for answers at the frontiers of knowledge.

I’ve reported on stories like:

• Can a machine read my mind?

• Could a “zombie virus” from Antarctic ice kill us all?

• Can I trust DNA ancestry tests?

• Why do stews taste better the next day?

• Can video games help me or harm me?

• Can we transfer electricity wirelessly?

• How high can insects fly?
