On Sunday, a friend showed me his new e-bike. It was cool! It was small, and it had a battery inside the frame, not on the outside. The bicycle folded up so that it was easy to take on a trip. According to the company website, you can go up to 80 kilometers on the battery, so you don’t have to worry about the battery dying on your way back home from work. Electric bicycles have been around for more than 20 years, but they used to be very expensive. The batteries have gotten cheaper, the motors have gotten lighter, and the electronics have gotten better, but until now, I never thought they were stylish. His bicycle changed my mind.　(by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Strokes kill six million annually and leave millions more disabled. This problem is particularly acute in sub-Saharan Africa, which suffers from a crippling lack of trained neurologists who can diagnose strokes. Although communicable diseases like HIV, malaria, and Ebola command the attention of the media and aid organizations, stroke in Africa is a growing and neglected crisis that, if unchecked, will have a greater toll.
In Zambia, there are two neurologists in a country of 18 million. One of them, Harvard-trained Omar Siddiqi, has launched a pilot program for Zambian doctors to become neurologists. Journalist Oliver Staley reports on efforts to seed Zambia with doctors trained to diagnose and treat stroke, and who then can train the next generation neurologists themselves. (by Oliver Staley)
