Return guest Athena Aktipis is an author, professor and podcaster. She is also the chair of the (wait for it...) Zombie Apocalypse Medicine Meeting (ZAMM) an interdisciplinary conference where art, science and medicine come together with the aim of solving complex issues.
Yup. You read that right.
Sure she does a bunch of more sciencey sounding things too, but who more fitting at a time like this than a cancer researching badass with a delightful science podcast about apocalypse scenarios?
Check out all the amazing things she does.
