There are two questions I hope to address through a critical commentary on the events that unfolded and with social network analysis of the UK based research and policy network that emerged: i) How transformational was the UK policy response to Ebola in relation to changes in evidence use patterns and behaviours? It utilises interactive theories of evidence use, the study of whole networks and the analysis of the connections between individuals in policy and research communities (Nightingale and Cromby, 2002; Oliver and Faul, 2018) . This is worth considering when one observes how ERAP's supply of research knowledge and the SAGE sub-committee for anthropologists only increased the homophily of the social science sub-community, leaving it weakly connected to the core policy network (Fig. 4.) .	./cache/cord-290033-oaqqh21e.txt	./txt/cord-290033-oaqqh21e.txt
