Distressingly Squishy: Zombie Science with Rebecca Gibson

Most people think that zombies of the brain-eating type that are commonly depicted in pop culture aren’t real, and we would have to agree with you, but we want to know if real-life zombies are possible! In this episode we are joined by bio-anthropologist Dr. Rebecca Gibson (@RGibsonGirl on Twitter) to discuss the origins of zombie stories and what might need to happen to actually zombify someone. ** You can find out more info about Rebecca and her books on her Amazon author page at www.amazon.com/author/rebeccagibsonbioanthro. ** You can find our sources for this episode at spookysciencesisters.com. ** While you’re here, we’d love it if you could subscribe to our YouTube channel!
