Ortis  Rising from the grave in October 2024, just in time for Halloween, the Canadian Journal of Zombie Science is here to make your academic nightmares a little more entertaining. Read by academics, zombie enthusiasts, and survivors in the field, this spine-tingling journal is dedicated to the scientifically intriguing exploration of “zombie-like” phenomena in the realms of plants, animals, and the environment across the world. After all, zombies have no borders.  Editor's Note: In the spirit of Halloween, we imagined launching the Canadian Journal of Zombie Science. While this unique journal is just for fun and doesn’t actually exist, it showcases real scientific papers that were previously published in the Canadian Science Publishing portfolio of journals.
