Thanks so much to @emilyakopp for writing more than 50 great stories pursuing the evidence trail on Covid origins and high-risk virological research. We wish her all the best at her new posting.
Thank you to everyone who has supported my reporting over the last few years. Now comes the fun part: writing about all of the new document disclosures and policy changes. Still lots of work to do!.
