Welcome to Tierah Ruins Things with Science, a podcast about infectious diseases in tv shows and movies, delivered in an accessible way for non-scientists. This is for entertainment only and is not to be confused with medical advice. Slight content warning as I swear a little bit.

This episode is about the classic holiday movie The Santa Clause, and the (made up) infectious disease that can make you turn into Santa.

Here’s a link to sources and a transcript.

This episode is a conversation I had with a friend of mine, Jeremy Nordstrom, who worked as a set dresser on The Last of Us Season 1. We talked about what his experiences were, how he got his job, some fun extras he put in, how he asked me for help in creating materials for the sets, some future projects he's working on, and a whole lot of other things.

Here’s a link to a couple photos we mention in the show.

This episode is about The Last of Us, cordyceps and ophiocordyceps, an explanation of taxonomy, how the fungus works, how I think it would have to mutate to infect humans, and how Ellie survived the fungus and bites.
