After eating certain foods, chimpanzees fart so loud and frequent that researchers can locate them in the forests or at sea by following the farts. The scientists investigating asked the public to send them information through a twitter handle called #doesitfart.
Nothing like actual documentation!

#postoftheweek (season 1):
The online open-access spreadsheet of smells began as the Twitter hashtag #DoesItFart, and gathers examples submitted by dozens of researchers confirming or denying the gassy output of a wide range of animals, from African wild dogs to wood lice ("Excrete ammonia").
Yes, cats fart! #DoesItFart
SO MANY great hashtags spawned on Science Twitter! #DoesItFart led to the creation of an animal fart database and then became a book, written by @danirabaiotti.bsky.social and Nick Caruso and illustrated by @blackmudpuppy.bsky.social, it began as a convo about whether or not snakes fart (they do) 🧪
Ps; I host a YouTube video steam for author’s called @peculiarbookclub.bsky.social and we would be especially interested in #DoesItFart
Our very own #DoesItFart Man (i.e @PlethodoNick) will be doing Science on Tap May 24 @RisingSiloBrew 5:30
Recently, I highlighted a pop Sci article about Uranus smelling like farts. The original paper even better, featuring lines like “The detection of gaseous H2S at these pressure levels...“
Bless you, authors. You have done the FSM’s work.

I'm giving my "Raise Your Scientific Profile with Social Media" talk @virginia_tech April 16th, 11 am in Squires, Brush Mountain B.
I'll talk about general strategies and highlighting #DoesItFart & the recent activity around #scicomm on Insta among other things . Come on by!
I hadn't realized the reach of #DoesItFart until I was listening to commercial classic rock radio yesterday and the DJ talked about the book for ~30 seconds.

Proud of A. for keeping a straight face while reporting on #DoesItFart: WPKY NEWS: January 17th, 2017 https://youtu.be/xD7M0bf3B-c via @YouTube
linking #doesitfart to #climatechange in the paleorecord. As usual, science twitter does not disappoint.

#DoesItFart? Yes, if it eats plants. Animals can't digest cellulose without help from bacteria, like these termite gut microbes.
Ice age megafauna like mammoths released so much methane that their extinction may have lowered global temps by 0.5 deg C. #DoesItFart
