Zombies surround us in many different ways and they don't always look like the ones in the movies. There are zombies that attack us from inside our body..., others come to bite us from the outside and some very dangerous ones try to eat our brains even if it is figuratively. The best thing is that in statistics we can find the perfect ally to understand their behavior and help us escape from it. From techniques to check if a drug works in models for epidemics to improving our critical eye so we don't get judged, Statistics play a big role that you can't ignore.
