Discovery Sessions

There has been a reported outbreak of zombieism in the Sheffield area. This is caused by infection with the bacteria Pseudomonas zombieitis. Symptoms of infection include cold clammy green skin, blood shot eyes, light sensitivity and a runny nose. Residents are recommended to stay indoors after sunset. It is your job as a scientist to help stop the zombie outbreak by examining patient samples in the laboratory so that we can diagnose who is infected, which treatment to use and stop the infection spreading further throughout the city.
