Also, First Ladies and women in tech gathered at the George W. Bush Presidential Center to learn how to use tech and education to empower women. 

Finally, it may seem like it's business as usual for hospitals after last year's brush with Ebola. KERA's Lauren Silverman reports on how hospitals are preparing for the next infectious disease.
