Mike is right that this is really happening; Emory (where I work) is immediately adjacent to CDC (in fact, it's pretty much just one gigantic Emory/CDC campus), and late last week I saw someone - presumably a CDC employee - walking around with a Zombie Apocalypse T-shirt. Go figure........

Now, this isn't just some idle speculation on my part that is part of my procrastination in doing course related work, no sir/madam/whatever, I'm talking about what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are doing. As reported last week in the NY Times, the CDC is taking the Zombie threat seriously (it should given that the Atlanta headquarters got blown up real good in the season finale of "The Walking Dead"). The news story can be accessed here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/20/health/20cdc.html?_r=1&ref=science For those who want to follow the CDC's recommendations for dealing with the coming Zombie Apocalypse, just check out the CDC's page on it: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp All this raises the question of whether anyone has taught a course on the Psychology of Zombies (if so, can one get a copy of the course syllabus?)? And, because the Zombie threat grows greater everyday, has anyone included Kinemortophobia when covering phobias? Do the traditional methods of dealing with phobias work with kinemortophobia? It would awful to be paralyzed by fear just as a bunch of zombie start noshing on one's flesh. -Mike Palij New York University m...@nyu.edu --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: slil...@emory.edu.
