She did a series of stories looking at role of social engineering in hacking and on a start-up in Silicon Valley that’s trying to use technology, instead of animals, to make meat that bleeds.\u003c/span>\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queena started her career as a business journalist at the Wall Street Journal, where she spent four years covering the paper, home building and toy industries. She wrote A1 stories about the unusually aggressive tactics KB Home took against its home buyers. and the resurgence of “Cracker” architecture in Florida. She also wrote section front stories on marketing trends and\u003c/span>\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a journalist, Queena has spent much of her career helping start-up editorial products. She was on the founding editorial team of The Bay Citizen, an experimental, online news site in San Francisco that was funded by the late hillbilly billionaire Warren Hellman. In 2009, Queena received a grant from the Corporation of Public Broadcasting to start-up a podcast called \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/cyberfrequencies\">CyberFrequencies\u003c/a>, which reported on the culture of technology. She also helped start-up two radio shows - Off-Ramp and Pacific Drift - for KPCC, the NPR-affiliate in Los Angeles. Off-Ramp was awarded 1st Place for news and Public Affairs programming by the PRINDI and the L.A. Press club. \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/queena-sook-kim\">Queena’s stories have appeared \u003c/a>on NPR’s Day to Day, Hearing Voices, WNYC’s Studio 360, WBUR’s Here and Now, BBC’s Global Perspectives and New York Times’ multimedia page.\u003c/span>\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1994, Queena won a Fulbright Grant to teach and study in Seoul, South Korea. She was also selected to be a Teach For America Corps Member in 1991 and taught elementary school in the Inglewood Unified School District in Southern California.\u003c/span>\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queena is a frequent public speaker and has given talks at UC Berkeley, Stanford University, San Francisco State University, PRINDI conference and the Craigslist Foundation Boot Camp. Queena went to UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism and graduated cum laude from New York University with a B.A. in Politics.

Of course, you can also look it up. For Alzheimer’s, carrying two copies of the Apoe4 variant (one from each parent), as \u003ca href=\"https://science.education.nih.gov/supplements/nih9/bioethics/guide/pdf/Master_4-2.pdf\">1 to 2 percent\u003c/a> of the population does, raises the risk of the disease to as much as 87 percent, for instance, compared to about \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2016/11/21/dementia-rate-decline/\">9 percent\u003c/a> in the general population.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2 class=\"danger-zone\">What diseases can 23andMe tell me about?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp class=\"danger-zone\">This month, late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, the clotting disorder alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and Gaucher disease.

"title": "Twitter Drops Its Egg, the Unintended Avatar of Harassment",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Since 2010, the default avatar on Twitter has been an egg. The idea apparently was that a new user was like a gestating bird, soon to make its first tweet. It was designed to be playful and cute.\u003cbr>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over time, Twitter's eggs came to symbolize something different: users who remain shadowy on purpose, to harass their fellow tweeters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Twitter announced that it was doing away with the egg as its default avatar, opting instead for a nondescript person-shape figure. No more bright colors, either -- the new avatar is all gray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://blog.twitter.com/2017/rethinking-our-default-profile-photo\">In a blog post, the company gave three reasons for the change\u003c/a>, which it seemed to list in order of least to most important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the company says, it has a new look as of last year, and it wants users' avatars to reflect the \"diversity and expressiveness\" of the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, it says, the egg was cute -- too cute. The egg didn't inspire enough people to want to change their avatar. So Twitter is making the default avatar ... worse on purpose: \"The new default image feels more like an empty state or placeholder and we hope it encourages people to upload images that express themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(It's as if Twitter is giving the \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/102830089\">\"flair\" talk\u003c/a> to its users: \"You do want to express yourself, don't you?\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11385589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 641px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/historic-twitter-avatars_wide-504116dbb21af87cb8b5cce2e28bb899c96754dc-e1491001797450.png\" alt=\"Since 2010, the egg has been the avatar given to new users on Twitter. But it came to be associated with anonymous harassers.\" width=\"641\" height=\"360\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11385589\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Since 2010, the egg has been the avatar given to new users on Twitter. But it came to be associated with anonymous harassers. \u003ccite>(Twitter)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Third, Twitter addresses the elephant in the virtual room: that the egg often became a symbol of harassment:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"We've noticed patterns of behavior with accounts that are created only to harass others -- often they don't take the time to personalize their accounts. This has created an association between the default egg profile photo and negative behavior, which isn't fair to people who are still new to Twitter and haven't yet personalized their profile photo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As anyone who has been trolled can attest, the most virulent tweets often come from people not using their real names. And many of those accounts sport the egg avatar, because when you're creating an account for the sole purpose of harassing others anonymously, why take the time to upload a picture and risk giving clues to your identity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem that the egg had obviated, Twitter's design team explained, was that \"generic person\" avatars employed by social networks often look masculine.

So Twitter is making the default avatar ... worse on purpose: \"The new default image feels more like an empty state or placeholder and we hope it encourages people to upload images that express themselves.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(It's as if Twitter is giving the \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/102830089\">\"flair\" talk\u003c/a> to its users: \"You do want to express yourself, don't you?\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11385589\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 641px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/historic-twitter-avatars_wide-504116dbb21af87cb8b5cce2e28bb899c96754dc-e1491001797450.png\" alt=\"Since 2010, the egg has been the avatar given to new users on Twitter.

This has created an association between the default egg profile photo and negative behavior, which isn't fair to people who are still new to Twitter and haven't yet personalized their profile photo.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>As anyone who has been trolled can attest, the most virulent tweets often come from people not using their real names. And many of those accounts sport the egg avatar, because when you're creating an account for the sole purpose of harassing others anonymously, why take the time to upload a picture and risk giving clues to your identity?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One problem that the egg had obviated, Twitter's design team explained, was that \"generic person\" avatars employed by social networks often look masculine. (Those generic people rarely have long hair, for starters.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make its new avatar more gender-neutral, Twitter explained that it gave the generic figure narrower shoulders and made the head less circle, more oblong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the eggs were ready to be cracked when Twitter \u003ca href=\"http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/1/14767074/twitter-anti-abuse-tools-filters-muting\">added functionality earlier this month\u003c/a> to filter out tweets from accounts that had the default avatar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has been under pressure to deal with the harassment that plagues certain reaches of the platform.

Last fall, Google released its latest employee \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/diversity/\">diversity report\u003c/a>, detailing the gender and ethnicity of everyone it hired in 2015. While the number of black employees went up, they still represent only 2 percent of Google’s workforce.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the time, Google said it fell short of its diversity goal. With Howard West, Google believes it can meet that goal faster, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonitacstewart\">Bonita Stewart\u003c/a>, the company’s vice president of global partnerships.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We have the opportunity to be able to build a qualified pipeline of talent across the black community,” she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pipeline, or the pipeline problem, is an idea commonly held in Silicon Valley that there just aren’t enough blacks, Latinos and women with computer programming skills to fill jobs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">To build that pipeline, Howard West will bring 25 of its students to Google’s headquarters this summer. They’ll be mentored by Google engineers and get regular classroom instruction from Howard professors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Howard and Google plan to train 750 students over five years and will open the program to students from all historically black colleges and universities, or HBCUs. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.howard.edu/about/president\">Wayne Frederick\u003c/a>, Howard’s president, said the instruction is important.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“But I think just as important will be exposure to the culture here,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frederick heard from alums working in the industry, who said they felt Howard prepared them technically but not culturally to work in Silicon Valley.

Last fall, Google released its latest employee \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/diversity/\">diversity report\u003c/a>, detailing the gender and ethnicity of everyone it hired in 2015. While the number of black employees went up, they still represent only 2 percent of Google’s workforce.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the time, Google said it fell short of its diversity goal. With Howard West, Google believes it can meet that goal faster, said \u003ca href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonitacstewart\">Bonita Stewart\u003c/a>, the company’s vice president of global partnerships.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We have the opportunity to be able to build a qualified pipeline of talent across the black community,” she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’ll be mentored by Google engineers and get regular classroom instruction from Howard professors.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Howard and Google plan to train 750 students over five years and will open the program to students from all historically black colleges and universities, or HBCUs. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.howard.edu/about/president\">Wayne Frederick\u003c/a>, Howard’s president, said the instruction is important.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“But I think just as important will be exposure to the culture here,” he said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Frederick heard from alums working in the industry, who said they felt Howard prepared them technically but not culturally to work in Silicon Valley. There’s the management style, which values collaboration over hierarchy, the importance of networking and how to dress.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So, for instance, I’m dressed in a suit and tie, and I haven’t seen anybody else in a suit and a tie,” he joked. “So that’s one example to just being exposed to that culture.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11371496\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11371496 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/03/drfrederick_bonita-800x1316.jpg\" alt=\"Bonita Stewart (L) is the Vice President of Global partnerships at Google.

All these schools have CS programs,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So why aren’t big tech companies recruiting at HBCUs?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I can’t speak for those companies,” he said. “But what I find interesting is that tech disrupts; tech hiring does not disrupt. It does not question what came before it.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Simamora said many tech companies continue to focus their recruitment efforts at a few schools, like Stanford, Harvard and MIT. Considering that, Simamora said the opening of Howard West at Google is disruptive and might force \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">the\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tech industry to start acting differently.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
