Undead Awareness: Fight for the Cure

Undead, Z's, ghouls, ZOMBIES! Call them what you will, the living dead are coming for you and the only way to defend yourself is with science! That's why Alex and Ben wade into the spooky world of undead anatomy this week. Our mission: to discover the most effective way to kill one of these mindless abominations by looking to some real world examples of parasitic zombification. Science in the News covers an anti-robot safe word, a nightmarish raccoon epidemic, and zombie stars. It's all naturalish! Big Naturalish shout outs to John McCoy & Tomer Ullman of MIT's Department of Brain & Cognitive Studies, Muskrat Jack Neary, blackholes, George Romero, Max Brooks, the Zombie Research Society, zombie fiction of all stripes, Leon S. Kennedy, the rage virus, radiation from Venus, parasites, the brain stem & cerebrum, the renal system, and the terrifying reality of nature.
