@philinlasvegas Seconded.

Everything about Noah was gentle and kind. He could be delivering the news of some godawful tragedy, but listening to his voice, you somehow believed there was still goodness in the world.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

Noah radiated decency; his keen insight informed what became NPR's original sound; his interest in places far from power enriched our understanding of the nation and its people.

Lovely tribute from @scottdetrow

@APulver50 That sounds exactly like Noah. So glad you got to meet him.

Never interviewed Serena! I'll look forward to doing so one of these days. You might want to check transcripts @npr before accusing journalists of "grotesque displays of sycophancy." All best --

[Will Ritter @RittOnTwitt75]

@NPRKelly Your interview with Serena Williams a few years back was one of the most grotesque displays of sycophancy toward a celebrity that i have ever seen or heard from any journalist.

I can't say that i'll miss your self-importance and ideological bias.

[Ashish K. Jha @ashishkjha]

Many of you have been tracking the Irkutsk lab situation over the last few days.

I've been gathering facts and trying to understand what is happening before weighing in.

Now that I have, I have to say — I'm concerned

You just never expect things to go wrong in, of all places, a Russian Plague Lab.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you.

[Siamak Namazi @sianamazi]

@NPRKelly You are so tightly woven into the stories of our lives. Thank you for your tireless dedication and great talent, keeping us all more informed and more connected every day. Looking forward to what comes next for you!

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

To be clear, no one will ever take the place of Robert Siegel. But thank you ❤️

[Mark Sprowl @MarkSprowl]

@NPRKelly Thank you for your outstanding work. I thought no one could take the place of Robert Siegel. Happily, I was very wrong! Good luck!

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you ❤️

[Farah Pandith @Farah_Pandith]

@NPRKelly Wishing you everything wonderful for your next chapter! You will be missed in this role @NPRKelly but I know the next role (s) will continue to bring your great insights and acumen into our world. Thank you for all you have contributed.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you❤️

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

@NPRKelly Noooooooo! I'm so going to miss hearing your voice every day! But what a badass you are and I'm so proud to know you, so excited for your next adventure!

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you ❤️

[Pam Fessler @pamelafessler]

Oh my! Mary Louise has been a smart, trusted, steady voice on NPR for so many years. Knowing her, she will continue to do great things! Good luck, MLK.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you!

[Travis Bubenik @travisbubenik]

Wow, massive loss for NPR, but happy for Mary Louise (she mentions in a LinkedIn post wanting to step away from the news cycle for a bit.) Always been one of my top fav reporters and interviewers.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you ❤️

[Scott Detrow @scottdetrow]

I have learned so much working alongside Mary Louise. We will miss her! Excited to see what comes next, though.

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you ❤️

[Asma Khalid @asmamk]

Am so grateful for all that I’ve learned from Mary Louise over the years — one of the best interviewers in the business. (But also such a lovely human! I remember walking into her office for advice after I had two boys in the span of two years and was trying to figure out life!)

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Me too!

[Joseph Finder @JoeFinder]

This is a loss — but she'll be a star whatever she does. I'm so glad we got to talk last year about THE OLIGARCH'S DAUGHTER. https://t.co/ueYm71bCxM

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Back atcha, my friend.

[David Folkenflik @davidfolkenflik]

Kudos to a brilliant run for a resolute, incisive journalist who's also a been a terrific colleague @NPRKelly

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Why yes, that is part of the plan...! And thank you❤️

[Isabel Lara @isalara]

Thanks for all the terrific coverage over the years, will miss you on the evening drive home :)
Hope this means you’ll have time to write more spy novels!

[Mary Louise Kelly @NPRKelly]

Thank you!

[Iva Zoric @ivazoric]

@NPRKelly Massive loss for NPR listeners, but excited to hear about your next adventure. Thank you MLK!
