Im not really sure where to put this question but does anyone know how you go about contacting someone in the research department for questions about bio fuel and renewable resources? I am way out of my league but my DS7 came up to me and said that if you ground up acorns they have oil inside. He showed me this by putting them in water and observing the oil floating on top. I did some googling and found this seems to be true but I would love for him to test his theory with someone knowledgeable about this subject. How do you go about approaching someone in this type of field? TIA

Thanks SPG. I sent out a couple different emails so hopefully I worded it right and will get a response.
