This week, we're joined by our friend and yours, Dr. Bill Sullivan, so of course we had to talk about some of the science behind The Last of Us! We're talking about the very real cordyceps fungus, and how one species can create a zombie apocalypse while another changes the economy of the Tibetan plateau. We're also looking at Keanumycin, the bacterial substance that could save us all, without the need for any pesky fireflies.
