The British science association presents Science at the movies:

Welcome to a dystopian future where humans are preyed upon by a fungus which scrambles their brains, turning them into mindless fungal zombies.

Join us to explore this world and the real life science behind the movie cameras:

On Thursday the 26th we’re screening the post apocalyptic horror drama, The Girl with all the Gifts followed by a talk on the science behind the silver screen with Dr David Kirby senior lecturer in science communication with The University of Manchester and author of ‘lab coats in hollywood’ and Professor Joanna Verran professor of microbiology, head of science communication and public engagement at Manchester Metropolitan University and founder of the bad bugs book club.
