If you've ever written about public health, you know there's no greater complement than Helen sharing, commenting on or even just "liking" one of your stories. She was incomparable on her beat. A giant! I can't imagine going through an outbreak without her sober voice. A tremendous loss.

A real loss. She was a wonderful journalist and a caring person. "Helen Branswell, a renowned infectious disease reporter who earned the respect of experts and public health officials around the world ...died Tuesday at age 69." www.statnews.com/2026/10/13/h...

What a loss for public health journalism. I frequently searched "Helen Branswell" to get back up to speed on all things infectious disease.
