Zombie outbreak scenario used to explain biochemistry research

Original: A zombie outbreak brings biochemistry research to life

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has published a piece framed around a fictional zombie outbreak, using the pop-culture scenario to walk through how biochemistry and molecular biology research would respond to a mysterious disease. The approach taps a familiar horror trope to make topics like pathogens, infection mechanisms and lab-based investigation more accessible to a general audience.

Why now: It connects a popular zombie fiction theme to real scientific work, making science communication engaging.
