Viruses: Zombies of Biology

What do vampires, zombies, and viruses all have in common? Learn about some of the world's most interesting (and dangerous) diseases, how they are transmitted, and why some of them are so harmful to the human body. Participants will also examine how pop culture icons, like Spiderman and Venom relate to viruses. Using creative methods, such as clay models, comic writing, infographics, and storytelling, participants will showcase what they have learned.

This is an in-person workshop.
