EMERGING: DISEASES IN TV, ANIME, AND VIDEOGAMES

Panel Room 104

Friday January 12, 2018 - 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm


Disease not only affects our lives but dictates mainstream TV, anime, and videogames. Like moths to a flame, we are entranced by a subject that is intriguing and terrifying enough to give shows like The Walking Dead or video games like the Last of Us critical acclaim. The infectious nature of fear makes understanding viruses or learning about pathogens not only a passion, but an art form. Join us for an interactive discussion on real life diseases that have influenced various TV shows, anime, and videogames, and how they infect pop culture in the 21st century.
