Ebola *
Dear Friends,
Ebola is frightening. Most information from TV, Facebook, and from our
governments is poor. We want to change this by providing to you the best
possible scientific information about Ebola from leading scientists
from Nigeria, Africa, the Library of Alexandria and experts world wide.
We have created a cutting edge lecture on Ebola for you to teach your
students, share with your faculty and distribute to your friends. The
Lecture has been translated by 20 scientific experts into Arabic,
Chinese, English, Farsi, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Malay, Pashtu,
Russian, Spanish and Urdu. It present the best possible scientific
knowledge about this disease.

Ebola Virus Disease is a severe, highly infectious and often fatal
illness that first appeared
40 years ago. The present outbreak is the most devastating compared
the previous 33. It is producing enormous fear and rumors due to lack
of good quality scientific information. The outbreak and fear have
almost ‘crushed’ the affected countries economically, health care and
science
The Ebola Outbreak causes havoc due to misinformation. We therefor
brought together a team of leading scientists from Nigeria, Africa and
internationally to provide the best possible scientific information and
share this lecture with you and the world.
We provide this to you as a “gift that is meant to be given”. Please
share this with your students and faculty, and post the lecture on
Facebook, tell others about it through Twitter, etc. The Library of
Alexandria Lecture is free, developed by the global scientific
community. Include links to this from Universities, Libraries, schools
media, etc.
Let us continue to learn and share the scientific facts about Ebola.
