Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

Some of us introverts really don't have the capacity to engage or interact with anyone, loved ones included, after interacting with people at work all day. We just need time to decompress, it's nothing personal
