      Thank you for your concern!

      It’s special effects for our comedy show called Zombie Science which we take to schools, and science and comedy festivals. You can find our more about it at our website http://www.zombiescience.co.uk/#! or on facebook.

      This image was taken from the Glasgow Comedy Festival a couple of years ago when my role was to meet and greet the audience, as well as dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. As you may be able to see from the image, I’ve taken a bullet through the side of the head and have had my throat seriously injured. But it’s all in the name of science.

      Fortunately I am the only person working at the Zombie Institute of Theoretical Studies (ZITS) at Glasgow University who is lucky enough to have been born with some kind of genetic immunity to Zombieism. Which is why I am able to talk to you now.

      If you’re referring to my face, as far as I know it’s all natural, pockmarks and all… maybe the reflection on my glasses seems special? =)
