We highlight the human microbiome project, or the bacteria that normally exist on your skin and take up a biological niche. We also explore the nature of gene therapy and its promise in curing genetic diseases like Huntington's Disease and cancer. Zombies will also make an appearance, with references including Young Frankenstein, 28 Days Later, Warm Bodies, The Walking Dead, and other common fiction to verify or vilify the possibility of the undead hordes.
