WHEN ZOMBIES ATTACK!: MATHEMATICAL MODELLING OF AN OUTBREAK OF ZOMBIE INFECTION

Someone or some scientists have actually sat down and written a computer modelling code for a scenario of zombie infection. This has been published in Infectious Disease Modelling Research Progress.

Enjoy! ;D;D

Will have to wait till I get home but that sounds epic :>

I wanted to see loads of pie charts :(

I don't think Zombies eat pie. Or maybe they do : people pie! :D

[Garp]

That is awesome and at the same time so incredibly geeky.

[Pheebs]

Bahahhaha!! Love it!!

In relation - this game is legendary and I heart it muchly!:

Zombie Plague - Printable and makeable board game! (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/7514/zombie-plague)

Spank you for the thought Mister Willhelm :D *wubs* x

Ugh, I had terrible zombie dreams the other night :(

[Will]

It is incredibly geeky - but I love it! It also, sort of makes, sense?! :D

Funnily enough the science looks solid and well thought out enough such that it's pulished in a journal, even though bizarrely from universes which are fictional.

Thoughts of making academic studies on it remind me of e.g. being able to get Klingon language qualifications. Slightly pointless no?

I'm guessing as said it's the methodology which was solid, maybe it's a good way of giving a review of some of the models used in real life.
