“The four stories included as part of this submission are a powerful response to the Ebola misconceptions that reached a fever pitch during the fall of 2014 in the U.S. They not only serve an essential “myth-busting” role about concerns of Ebola going airborne or being spread via sex, but they also give faces and names to the outbreak. These Scientific American pieces, part of our ongoing science-grounded Ebola coverage, include the perspectives of officials working on the frontlines of the response as well as community healthcare workers in west Africa.”
