Kreb Radio

This week's episode of KREB Radio focuses in on microbes and viruses. We start with a discussion of nanobots and medicine. We also take about the influenza virus, including the H1N1 pandemic, pigs, and the avian flu. We highlight the human microbiome project, or the bacteria that normally exist on your skin and take up a biological niche. We also explore the nature of gene therapy and its promise in curing genetic diseases like Huntington's Disease and cancer. Zombies will also make an appearance, with references including Young Frankenstein, 28 Days Later, Warm Bodies, The Walking Dead, and other common fiction to verify or vilify the possibility of the undead hordes. Complete with commercials encompassing the noire of Officer Marcrophage, Die Hard: Bubonic Plague with A Vengeance, and the new immune system evasion game Forbidden Host, it is KREB Radio Episode 3.
