  <description>&lt;p&gt;Is the zombie apocalypse really possible?  Worse yet, has it already started?  Dr. Athena Aktipis stopped by to answer these questions and more.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Athena Aktipis is a psychology professor at Arizona State University that studies cooperation in ways ranging from its evolution in human societies and all the way down to the cellular level with her work in researching how we think about cancer and potential new ways to treat it.  She’s also really into the zombie apocalypse and zombification which is the topic of this show, so grab your go bag and head to your bunkers as we talk zombification with Athena Aktipis.&lt;/p&gt;
