Zombie outbreak used to bring biochemistry research to life
Original: A zombie outbreak brings biochemistry research to life
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology has put out a piece framed around a fictional zombie outbreak, using the scenario to explain real biochemistry and molecular biology research. The approach aims to make the science behind topics like infection, the brain and disease pathways more engaging for a general audience.
Why now: Science organisations are using pop-culture hooks like zombies to make biochemistry research more accessible and interesting to the public.
