Welcome to our first episode for 2023! For this episode, we're dressed in our best post-apocalyptic clothing, taken stock of our non-perishable food supplies and kept someone on look-out as we dive into the 2013 zombie film "Warm Bodies".
We discuss the representation of hearts in this modern, zombie-filled, adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Join us for a fascinating analysis of how this film links hearts with life and humanity.
This episode draws on a recent film screening, which was part of the SCIENCE. ART. FILM. series presented by the National Film and Sound Archive, Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science and ANU Humanities Research Centre. Our thanks to organiser Dr Anna-Sophie Jurgens (ANU, Popsicule) and panellists Dr Katharina Bonzel (ANU) and Dr Nicole Freene (University of Canberra, ACT Heart Foundation Local Advisory Board).

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense.

With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t.
