Editor’s note: Sarah Braner originally titled this post, “So long, farewell, I kinda hope this newsletter isn’t as necessary in the nearish future but also I hope we meet again.” While this is a very good title, I didn’t want anyone to see it and think that I, Betsy, am ending the publication (which I am not). Sarah has been an invaluable help these past few months—staying on top of COVID-19 data news, brainstorming post ideas, working on the K-12 data annotations, and more. I’m excited to watch her kill it at CNN and beyond!
This will be my last week writing for the CDD. I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone who has read my posts, to Betsy for literally everything, and to Dr. Ashish Jha for being the only one allowed to tweet from here on out. (Honorable mention to AstraZeneca for giving me an excuse to put a Simpsons meme in the newsletter.)
If you, for some reason, want to read more of my work this summer, you can catch me pumping out some Content for CNN Health after I figure out how their Slack channel works. When the school year starts up, I’ll be resuming my work as Bwog’s Science Editor with hopefully much less COVID-19 to write about. If my hopes pan out, I will fill that void by writing a weird amount of posts about Barnard laundry.
