Hi there,

I'm a proponent of scientific literacy and I really appreciate your effort to create a great story that isn't riddled with ACME scientific buffoonery. Two of my favorite scenes are when Michael calls B.S. on the claim of the zombies' 6th sense and Tanya's explanation that #2 needs the same requirements for life as all creatures in order for her body to function.

Do you have background or education in a scientific field? I believe I read a post in which you mentioned an engineering class.

Do/did you extensively research branches of science for this show or for personal interests?

In general, how much scientific detail do you like incorporate into this or any story line? Do you prefer using it as an element within a story, such as war is used in Casablanca and Gone with the Wind? Or more heavily involved like paleontology and genetics in Jurassic Park?
