Event description
Ever wondered why we’re terrified of monsters… and germs?
Join Professor Dave Engelthaler, Executive Director of ASU Health Observatory, a for a spine-tingling dive into the creepy connection between pathogens and pop culture monsters.
From werewolves to Dracula, mummies to… yes, zombies, early fears of infectious diseases gave birth to the monsters we love to fear.
Prepare for scares, science, and a few “eww, germs!” moments. Your monsters might just be… microscopic.
This presentation is designed for ages 12+.
All events at the Glendale Public Library are public, and participants may be photographed by the media and/or City staff for future print and/or online publication.
