A terrible loss. She was the world's premiere infectious disease reporter -- an icon for all of us in public health science and journalism alike.
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.

It hurts to post this sad news:
Helen Branswell, whose reporting on infectious diseases and public health drew acclaim, dies at 69.
Veteran Canadian journalist’s coverage was marked by clarity and nuance at times of crisis. statnews.com/2026/10/13/hele… via @statnews #journalism

From the SMACC Conference in Sydney, Australia 7 years ago.
Great memories. @inquisitiveGyn
The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority voted 6-0 to officially begin the process of renaming Nashville International Airport in honor of Dolly Parton:
• The new name has not yet been decided, though “Dolly Parton International Airport” appears to be an obvious possibility.
• The idea was floated even before Parton’s death. In 2025, she joked: “It does sound like a lot of fun to say: ‘Your flight is departin’ from Nashville’s D. Parton.’”

Getting to work with Onefour for triple j‘s like a version was a lot of fun. These guys are the real deal. Honest and passionate about their work. It’s always an honour to sing with people who are proud of where they come from and the gifts their life has given them. We were all happy to be working with Jessica Mauboy. A beautiful singer and a fantastic human.

After 9/11, Sesame Street aired four episodes to help children (and grown-ups) process fear and grief.
In this episode, which aired in 2002, Elmo learns to face his fear with help from the FDNY firefighters — a reminder that even when we're scared, someone is there to keep us safe. #NeverForget

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.
Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).
A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.
At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at dollyparton.com
In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at imaginationlibrary.com

Dolly Parton passed away today at the age of 80. Parton's career spanned decades, but Nat Geo photographer Jodi Cobb captured her in her first decade of stardom for our May 1978 feature on Nashville’s vibrant culture. Here are some of those images: on.natgeo.com/BubLNc
