Ebola quarantine facility in Kenya for Americans sparks backlash

Kenyan protesters are demonstrating against plans to build a quarantine center in Kenya for Americans who may have been exposed to Ebola. Critics say it exposes Kenyans to risk, without offering them the same protections provided to US citizens. Also, a new study has found multiple types of microbes preserved in the body of Otzi, the iceman mummified in a glacier from the Copper Age, which could potentially offer new insights for future medical research. And, the civil war in Sudan is complicating research into an ancient civilization in the country known for millennia as the Kingdom of Kush. Plus, Japan releases eight crested ibises, that went extinct in the country, into the wild. We are aiming to raise $30,000 by June 30. Help us reach our goal! Every donation will be matched.
