PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCIENCE ON SCREEN It has been twenty-eight days since Jim (Cillian Murphy), a young bicycle courier, was knocked off his bike and injured in a car accident. When he wakes up from his coma, the world has changed. London is deserted, litter-strewn and grim, and it seems the entire world has disappeared. The truth, however, is even more horrifying - a devastating psychological virus has been unleashed on the world, turning the population into blood-crazed psychopaths driven only to kill and destroy the uninfected. Together with other survivors, Jim begins a bitter struggle to escape the city to a military encampment at Manchester follows - but there, their troubles are just beginning… DISCUSSION w/ Jake Brandvold, Whatcom County Epidemiologist “The Zombie Apocalypse and You: You Probably Aren’t Surviving This” DESCRIPTION: Zoonotic viruses—those which spread from animals to humans—present unique challenges to scientists and researches who attempt to both map and prevent their spread. Epidemiologist Jake Brandvold provides a surprisingly fun look into just how contagious viruses can be by using the audience as his example, and will highlight 28 Days Later with details of how even zombie movies, often rife with scientific inaccuracies, offer kernels of truth within their perspective of contagions. SPEAKER BIO: Jake Brandvold is an epidemiologist with Whatcom County Health and Community Services, with a professional background that bridges veterinary medicine and public health. After earning his veterinary degree with Washington State University in 2016, he spent six years in private practice working with small animals and exotics. He completed his Master of Public Health in 2021 and transitioned into public health in 2023. He has a strong interest in infectious disease, especially zoonotic diseases, and is passionate about the One Health concept—the recognition that human, animal, and environmental health are deeply interconnected. This perspective has guided his career since his early training in veterinary school. He lives in Lynden with his three sons and a rescue dog. Outside of work, he enjoys being outdoors, cooking, staying active, and working on fiber arts projects.Horror, Thriller, Science FictionPT1H53M2026-05-07
