😢 Helen was the best. Interviews with her felt like talking to a scientific colleague, and then she’d turn it into something anyone could understand. And then there were the questions she would ask ACIP! 🍿 She will be very missed.

Terribly sad news. Helen's reporting was top-notch, and she knew as much about outbreaks as anyone. My condolences to her loved ones.

It is hard to overstate what a big loss this is. Helen Branswell was a fantastic infectious disease reporter. And she made the rest of us better. www.statnews.com/2026/10/13/h...

This👇 is such a good example of how on top of her game Helen was. While she was keeping us all updated on Ebola, MERS, flu, and so many of all the other infectious diseases out there, she immediately grasped the gravity of the first warning sign of what we now remember as SARS-CoV-2 / COVID-19.
