Explore the fascinating world of real-life insect zombification. Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. In Rise of the Zombie Bugs, Mindy Weisberger explores the eerie yet fascinating phenomenon of real-life zombification in the insect class and among other invertebrates. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond).Event LinksTickets: https://go.evvnt.com/3074408-0 Details & Tickets: https://www.upcomingevents.com/bridgeport/events/bridgeport/virtual-author-talk-rise-of-the-zombie-bugs-with-mindy-weisberger-464013?ref=uceaddevent Bridgeport, Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT, 06604
