As Ebola spreads across at least ten African nations, claiming the lives of healthcare workers and volunteers at the outbreak's heart in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a new vaccine candidate moves toward human trials — a convergence of scientific readiness and human urgency that the world has not always been fortunate enough to have. The 2014-2016 epidemic taught researchers hard lessons about the cost of unpreparedness; what is unfolding now tests whether those lessons were truly learned. The months ahead will reveal whether medicine can move fast enough to meet a virus that does not wait
