About this episode

The episode explores the science of genetically modified cordyceps and their potential threat to humans, inspired by the TV show The Last Of Us.

Hello everybody! In todays episode, we dive into the science behind genetically modified cordyceps. After falling down yet ANOTHER TikTok rabbit hole, I decided to research just how likely it would be for the popular TV show, The Last Of Us, to become a reality. We're going to discuss what cordyceps are, how they work, if they're a threat to humans, if they'll ever become a threat to humans and should we be worried about people trying to genetically modify them in the first place? There is a lot to unpack so let's discuss! Check out our YouTube channel! Check out Gabby's YouTube channel! Check out Brenna's YouTube channel! Check out our Patreon!
