About the Richard Preston Interview

I am Richard Preston, a writer who knows Ebola. I’m author of “The Hot Zone,” the book inspired by my 1992 article in The New Yorker. My [latest article] (http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/08/11/outbreak), published this week in the magazine, describes the current outbreak. I also wrote “Cobra Event” and “Demon in the Freezer” (the Dark Biology Triad). I’m happy to take questions about the Ebola situation now, or any of my books. Ask me anything!

Proof: Me with the skull of a crab-eating monkey, the species that was infected with Ebola, featured in “The Hot Zone” https://www.facebook.com/218144878241860/photos/a.218607071528974.52990.218144878241860/736779056378437/?type=1&theater
