The New England Journal of Medicine hosted an online broadcast on Ebola on Wednesday, 10/22/14. They had several speakers: PhDs, MD, specialists in public health, a member of Medecines Sans Frontieres, CDC staff and others. The discussion started with how the outbreak started and reached about 10,000 cases in 9 months. Other speakers discussed different aspects of the epidemic (public health, microbiology/virology, policy, etc.)
For more, come below the serpiginous shepherd's crook virus.
The panel members contributed insight from their respective fields on the shaping of the Ebola epidemic, where it's headed, the economics of the situation, how the US has taken the lead in attempts to control it, etc. They also spend time answering answering specific questions submitted to those invited to listen to the presentation. I'm just listening it myself for the first time, so I don't know it they answered any of the four questions I submitted.
The entire broadcast lasted about 90 minutes. There is series of slides that you can watch as you listen.
