...What's more, the mere fact of their quick immobility means they can't carry the virus very far. Ebola usually burns through an isolated village or community and then has nowhere else to go. "People always assumed it was the same for gorillas," says Walsh. This belief made particular sense since gorillas live in relatively compact packs that don't interact much with other packs. Ebola, however, is oddly aggressive in great apes, ignoring pack boundaries and advancing across great-ape habitats at a rate of about 47 km a year. Heading into the field to study the outbreaks...

Ebola, however, is oddly aggressive in great apes, ignoring pack boundaries and advancing across great-ape habitats at a rate of about 29 miles a year. Heading into the field to study the outbreaks, as well as animal behavior that could be contributing to them, Walsh and his team soon cracked the mystery...

Studies show that any training generates a backlash and that mandatory diversity training in particular may even activate a bias. Researchers also see evidence of "irresistible stereotypes," or biases so deeply ingrained that they simply can't be taught away in a one-day workshop...

He was also a true, born leader, capable of going against the tide of public opinion. He did so when he quarreled with Gorbachev in the Soviet Politburo.
