FTA66 - The Zombie Antpocalypse

from MonsterTalk Hosted by Blake Smith

WHAT IF YOUR WILL WERE NOT YOUR OWN? What if your mind were being controlled by something other than your own volition? This isn’t an imaginary scenario. Real lifeforms here on earth can profoundly influence the behavior of other lifeforms, turning them into helpless zombies, forced to do the bidding of their emotionless masters. In this episode of MonsterTalk, we interview entomologist David Hughes about host behavior modification by parasitic organisms. For more information on David’s work, visit Hughes Lab, part of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics and The Huck Institute for Life Science at Pennsylvania State University. This episode was previously aired in March of 2013. #FromTheArchives Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monstertalk--6267523/support.
