You can download a podcast from iTunes of Robert Smith -- Associate Professor at U of Ottawa and co-author with the students --in an interview with CBC's Alan Neal. It's a fun listen!

the really weird thing is that "professor smith?" likes putting a question mark at the end of his last name.

I'm Ron Burgandy?

Saying "Thats Epic" would be an understatement

Did I mention that this frightens me as a grad student?

Not the fact that it has anything to do with zombies, but the fact that they were granted funding for such a project. :p
