This guide is Under Construction.
Due to a new resources management system all the books, dvds, and games linked to in this guide need to have their links updated by hand! There are hundreds of items that need to be updated and we will do our very best to do this as quickly as possible right after we return from our Winter Break after January 7th. This will most likely take us a couple of weeks but rest assured, all these items still exist! We hope to have all the links updated by the end of January. Links to website and Ebooks are unaffected by this change.
Zombies and the Science of Braaaaains
Jacquelyn Omelian, UNL Assistant Professor of Practice in Psychology
March 11, 7:00pm
We all know zombies aren’t real… right? But what about a parasite that makes mice lose their fear of cats and end up as lunch? Or a virus that makes people terrified of a glass of water? Join us as we sort the fact from the fiction and explore the wonderfully weird world of the brain.
All talks are hosted in Love Library 2nd Floor Peterson Room.
