1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 In the second of a two part series on zombies, this week we go deeper in the dark world of the undead. In part one we managed, through a combination of drugs, to create zombie-like creatures who were sluggish and largely brain-dead. This week we have a shot at recreating the zombies of films such as I am Legend - creatures created through the transmission of a virus, who are filled with rage and enjoy the taste of brains. Topics covered include: Mad cow disease and the use of prions to transmit disease, Chimpanzees who eat brains, Methamphetamines for the creation of rage, Mathematical modelling a zombie pandemic and how the zombies could do this sustainably. Somehow we ended up proposing a &quot;Planet of the zombie apes&quot; movie idea, and a methamphetamine-infused biodome. It might not pass an ethics committee.
