The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: The fight to keep healthcare workers from becoming infected with the Ebola virus has some researchers turning to robots for a solution. Also, the back-and-forth continues between Dallas school board member Bernadette Nutall and superintendent Mike Miles. And finally, for a different kind of scare, look to old nursery rhymes. KERA's Courtney Collins explores the deeper meaning behind some childhood classics. 

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 6:20 p.m. or 8:20 a.m. on 90.1 FM.

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
