• Ebola outbreak: Why the US doesn’t want American Ebola patients to return home

  Between cuts to American foreign aid in the region, the sheer aggressiveness of this strain of the virus, and conspiracy theories that threaten public health workers, many public health workers fear that this Ebola outbreak has become a perfect storm.

  To understand what’s going on — and why the US is trying to involve Kenya — Today, Explained co-host Noel King spoke to Sabrina Siddiqui, a national politics reporter for the Wall Street Journal who helped to break the story. They discussed the reactions from Kenyans and public health experts and what would happen if Kenya continues to rebuff the administration.

  Below is an excerpt of their conversation, edited for length and clarity. [...]

• Looksmaxxing is killing men’s sperm

  Lowered sperm count, shrunken testicles, and impaired fertility are known side effects of some kinds of testosterone supplementation. Doctors can help people manage or avoid these effects with the right dosage, but the rise of direct-to-consumer medicine — and gray and black market sources — mean more men are taking testosterone without close medical monitoring.

• The Gin and Tonic Is a Cocktail With a Storied History. Don't Overlook Scotland's Connection to the Classic

  The true story of the gin and tonic is less about a singular invention and more about the convergence of science, medicine, commerce and empire over several centuries. Scotland is not necessarily where the drink was “invented,” but Scottish physicians, merchants and distillers all contributed to the world that eventually produced it.
