Yesterday we posted the study that goes along with this episode on the blog. For those who did not see it, or just who did not grab the Zombie Infection Model, there it is again. It is not necessary for this episode, but it will give you more background on what we are discussing.

So without further ado, we present a special Halloween treat, Ask Science Dude : Zombie Apocalypse! In this episode Sinead looks at epidemiological modeling in terms of projecting infectious diseases through the use of differential equations and a survival guide to the zombie apocalypse.

For those of you who listened to the last episode of the show, you heard us mention that the next episode would be covering an explanation of how disease spreads so rapidly and easily in today’s society, through use of a chapter from a book on Infectious Disease Modeling. The chapter is called, When Zombies Attack!: A Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infection. And below is a downloadable PDF copy of the chapter so that anyone who wishes can check it out before the episode and follow the conversation a little easier as you listen.

The link to the chapter is here:
