Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. In Rise of the Zombie Bugs, Mindy Weisberger explores the eerie yet fascinating phenomenon of real-life zombification in the insect class and among other invertebrates. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond).

More than 100 journals’ current volumes are now OA thanks to the unwavering support of libraries and institutions worldwide. This success reflects a collective commitment to ensuring that vital humanities and social sciences scholarship is accessible to everyone, free from paywalls.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the global community of publishers, libraries and the S2O Community of Practice who collectively made this possible. Their shared vision and support have helped realize a path forward for open access in disciplines that are often underserved by other OA funding models.

This milestone is a testament to the power of community and the shared value of making knowledge available to all.
