New article at Politico on travel bans for Ebola. Quick summary: not only will it not work, but it will further erode trust of America in the affected countries, making it more difficult to extinguish the epidemic in West Africa and therefore putting us at greater risk here.

Bethany Brookshire writes about some of our latest lab research--and our high school student, Yutao (Max) Su, who helped with it as a summer project in my lab.
The newspaper picked up my Slate article on Ebola and republished it here with a few updates.
My colleague Chris Heaney's research is written up in today's New York Times. Our previous study examining carriage of Staphylococcus aureus in veterinary students is mentioned.
Have appeared a few other places recently:
Interview on CBC's The Current on Ebola. Interview on Thom Hartmann's "The Big Picture" (TV) about Ebola. I'm on today's Inquiring Minds podcast with Chris Mooney, talking about Ebola.
I received a few nice shout-outs at io9 and Vox for my coverage of the Ebola outbreak. I was on Chicago's "The Big John Howell and Amy Jacobson Show" on August 7th. I chatted with Vincent Racaniello on Science on Google+'s Hangout on Air about Ebola. I was on the Jasen Sokol show on Akron Radio on August 15th. I was recently in Boston to give a talk at the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics, part of Harvard University's College of Public Health. Link to the media story and the talk can be found here.
Nice story on our recent paper looking at MRSA and proximity to CAFOs.
Thanks to Maryn McKenna for covering our recent study on MRSA carriage and proximity to CAFOs.
