This week on MonsterTalk, we interview Harvard medical doctor Steven Schlozman, author of The Zombie Autopsies and get inside the walking dead to discuss a plausible mechanism for the zombie apocalypse. It took a lot of guts, but in this episode we discuss:

• How did a doctor become
  interested in zombies?
• What can zombies teach us
  about neurology?
• Which is scarier:
  infection or cannibalism?
• Why don’t zombies have sex?
• What’s the best way to slice a brain?
• What do brains taste like?
• Plus much, much more!

Suggested Reading
(for younger MonsterTalk fans)

The Zombies Guide to the Human Body

A great book for kids that teaches
anatomy with zombies.
