Could 'The Last of Us' Really Happen? Notre Dame Scientists Talk Fungal Pathogens

Is a pandemic caused by fungal pathogens a real-life possibility? Can fungi kill? Could fungal infections turn people into fungi creatures, like in 'The Last of Us'? Is there a vaccine for fungal infections?

Scientists in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame are asking and answering these questions. Join professors Shaun Lee and Felipe Santiago-Tirado as they discuss the real-life science behind the premise of HBO's 'The Last of Us.'
