Do zombies feel pain? While it’s not a question the lab has previously considered, it’s a hot topic in the world of zombie enthusiasts! What is it about 'zombification’ that makes zombies seemingly insensible to pain, and what would the ethics of experimenting on zombies be? Dr. Crook spoke to Dr. Zed (aka Joe Alcock, an emergency medicine physician at Arizona State University), about pain research, how infectious agents can inactivate pain to gain an advantage over the host, and how an evolutionary perspective on pain can shed new light on pain treatments for humans (and zombies, presumably). A fun outreach event to a very different audience! A replay of the segment on Channel Zed can be found here on YouTube.
