Science on Instagram: "Ebola is a rare but deadly viral disease first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The outbreak happened almost at the same time in Sudan and Congo. Scientists found that the virus spreads from wild animals (like fruit bats, monkeys, and apes) to humans and then from person to person through direct contact with blood, body fluids, or contaminated objects. Ebola causes high fever, severe weakness, bleeding, and often leads to death.

The suspect in Brown University’s deadly shooting has been found dead after a five-day manhunt, law enforcement officials say. The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured. Police were seen in Salem, New Hampshire, where an abandoned car believed to be linked to the suspect was discovered.
