It is hard to believe that Helen Branswell has passed away. Just heartbreaking.
On January 4, 2020, Helen wrote STAT's first story on a mystery pneumonia outbreak in China. She saw the pandemic coming well before anyone was paying attention.
Helen was a journalist who knew more than most of the experts she interviewed. She understood the science, the history and the politics of every outbreak she covered. She asked the hardest (and best) questions and never let me get away with a vague answer
Experts learned from her. I certainly did
It's hard to imagine a world of pandemics, biological threats and so much more without a Helen Branswell to explain it all.

National Park Service about to chop down up to 529 trees from municipal golf course Trump trying to take over telling federal judge they don’t contribute to the “historic landscape” - no arborist could possibly have said that. Or anyone who’s visited that park along the Potomac

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption. #NoDeathPenalty
