For a man who weighs over 300 pounds, who is well past the prime of
his life, who has neither bathed nor dabbled in social intercourse
for over a decade, Dr. Science is surprisingly normal. Despite his girth
and the aroma that follows him around his secret laboratory, the Fortress
of Arrogance, Dr. Science presents an attractive and wholesome picture
of the scientist at work.  
Work is his life. The great academician has no other interests than those subjects that can be studied by Science. And for a man with a scope as broad and wide as the Midwestern prairie, that includes everything under the sun as well as a few misshapen blobs in a dark corner of the cellar. One unnatural subject currently under study by Dr. Science is those pesky UFO's frequently spotted by Kansas farmers and recreational chemical enthusiasts. If you thought Fox Mulder was an expert, wait until you hear what Dr. Science has to say about flying saucers. |
| Dr. Science first arrived on the science scene in 1985. Rumor has it that he grew up in the vast cornfields of Iowa but details on this and other questions of origin are sketchy. Earliest reports place him in the company of that motley crew of merrymakers, the Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre. |
| The wit and whiz-dumb of Dr. Science can be heard daily on radio stations across the country. If your favorite station doesn't carry Dr. Science, call or write to the program director and tell them what they're missing! Or better yet, send them to this site where they can hear recorded samples of the Ask Dr. Science shows and hear a recording of the good Dr.'s most recent appearance on NPR's Science Friday. |
| Dr. Science sometimes consents to leave the Fortress of Arrogance to impart his supreme whiz-dumb upon audiences at conferences, company meetings/parties, special events and college lectures. In recent months, Dr. Science has helped a Detroit public radio station during their pledge drive, inspired clients at a PR firm's annual retreat, dazzle convention goers in San Diego, New York and Chicago, and helped bring out world peace in various other public appearances. To arrange for Dr. Science to visit your get-together, contact Dr. Science's bureaucracy at message (at) drscience.com, or dial 650-315-5443. Why rent a karaoke machine when you can boost everyone's IQ with a visit from Dr. Science? |
| Surprisingly, Dr. Science has quite a few friends and associates that help him unravel the mysteries of the universe. Some of them are:
