Ask a Scientist!

I decided to ask a scientist some questions about my project of the red cockaded woodpecker.

1.  What kind of specialized cells does the red cockaded woodpecker have?
2.  What could the woodpecker have in order to help it adapt to an environment?

I also am interested in cancer and how we do not have a cure yet.  I wonder what it would take to figure out how the cancer cells are destroyed daily and how to use this to maybe come up with a cure for cancer. If some people can kill off these millions of cells daily how come scientists can not figure out how these cells work and then use that information for a cure?
