Hello there Zombiology Students,
My name is Doctor Austin, Theoretical Zombiologist and Head of the Zombie Institute for Theoretical Studies (ZITS) at the University of Glasgow.
Many people are unaware that the world’s leading Zombieism research facility is based right here in Scotland’s biggest city. The Institute has existed since the early 19th Century before Glasgow even had a comedy festival. It was a dark time. Imagine being forced to go to Edinburgh to attend a comedy festival,
not pleasant at all.
This year I’m very excited to be taking part in the MGICF with my lecture Zombie Science 1Z. They say that laughter is the best medicine, and although my patients prefer drugs & surgery, a wee joke here and there often helps.
In Zombie Science 1Z we aim to increase awareness of the Zombieism condition, dispel misconceptions about zombies perpetrated by popular culture and inspire the public about biological sciences. There will of course be live science demonstrations. In fact I’ve just finished turning my nephew’s tennis racquet into a crossbow for one of them. He did try to complain, but obviously I had a crossbow.
All the best and don’t let the fear of Zombieism stop you enjoying all the brilliant acts at this year’s festival,
Doctor Austin ZITS MSz BSz DPep
