VELCOME to Blood-Sucking Science, where we explore the science surrounding Dracula!
How do vampire bats find prey and survive by drinking blood? Why do we love watching horror films and vampire shows? And CAN science disprove the existence of the vampires we get in legends?
We speak to vampire bat expert Daniel Streicker from the University of Glasgow, and friend of the podcast Dr Brendan Rooney, to run us through the psychology of why we love horror films, and what we can even learn from them.
And of course, watch out for our dracula vernacular - we’ll be trying to seamlessly weave in as many vampire puns or terminology.
Hosted and produced by Emma Brisdion and Karen Collins.
