It’s only day 2 but the questions keep coming! Over 35 live chats and hundreds more great questions.

Today’s highlights:

• 

  Tantrum? Me? Image by Flickr upload bot for Wikimedia

  In the Animal Behaviour Zone, they were talking about baby baboons:

msteststudent : do Babboons show any similraties to humans ????

suzanneharvey : baboons do show similarities to humans – baby baboons have tantrums juct like children until their mothers give them what they want!

• Over in the Crystallography Zone student crouchingmurloc asks:

Do any of you live up to the nerdy stereotype that comes with being a scientist?

• There was talk of artificial volcanoes in the Earth Zone:

stargazer : where would you put the artificial volcanoe(s)

angusferraro : Great question. If people decided to go down the artificial volcano route, we would need to find a way to do it. A big explosion is quite expensive. Instead people might use a balloon and pump stuff up a pipe. It would probably be out at see in case the pipe came down and hurt someone
angusferraro : To mimic volcanoes, we could get a huge balloon (like football-stadium -size) and use it to dangle a hose down to the surface and pump particles up it. That’s bascially what volcanoes do

• And we learnt about the ‘love hormone’ in the Hormones Zone:

lgs11richm : whats the most important hormone

keithsiew : probably oxytocin because its the “love hormone” and helps us build relationships… so while it may not be the most important for our survival it is for our relationships to one another
