Encephalitis Podcast Ep 62

In this episode of the Encephalitis Podcast, Prav is joined by award-winning screenwriter and director Scott Z. Burns to discuss the depiction of encephalitis in films and explore the science, humanity, and lasting impact of the 2011 film Contagion. Inspired by real-world viruses such as Nipah and SARS, the film gained renewed relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic for its portrayal of a global outbreak with neurological consequences.
