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.
