Ebola and the future of West Africa

I'm very interested in hearing what Jennifer Yanco, who is U.S. director of the West African Research Association and has lived for long stretches  in West Africa, has to say about the outlook for that region in light of the Ebola epidemic.  Ms. Yanco, with a master of public health degree from Harvard, will be speaking to the Providence Committee on Foreign Relations (thepcfr.org) about it next Tuesday, Nov. 4. -- Robert Whitcomb
