She was thoughtful, devoted to science and truth, and an extraordinary reporter to work with. Her integrity, kindness, & willingness to listen to public health workers in the thick of it all made her one of a kind. The gap she leaves behind is enormous. Helen you’ll be deeply missed. Rest easy 💔

This is deeply sad news and a big loss for the scientific community and public at large. Helen Branswell was a stellar health reporter who was thorough and communicated with a rare clarity. I spoke to her for stories through the years. She will be missed. www.statnews.com/2026/10/13/h...
