"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And during teleportation, their brains produced a distinctive electrical signal that's associated with navigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So if teleporters do start showing up, don't worry. \"Our brain will be OK with that,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://mindbrain.ucdavis.edu/people/ekstrom\">Arne Ekstrom\u003c/a>, an associate professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and the study's senior author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study was part of an effort to understand the role of a distinctive low-frequency electrical oscillation in the hippocampus, a part of the brain that plays an important role in navigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's been all these studies over decades trying to figure out what this signal does,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://lindsayvass.com/\">Lindsay Vass\u003c/a>, a postdoctoral scholar at UC Davis and the study's lead author.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The oscillation occurs when a person or animal is traveling from one place to another. When the person or animal stops, so does the oscillation. But it's never been clear whether the signal is truly helping with navigation or just a related function, like movement or processing visual information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/468110269/468149490\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're walking around the world you have all this incoming information,\" Vass says. \"You have your feet moving and stepping on the ground. You've got landmarks and buildings that you recognize and street signs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the UC Davis team designed an experiment that allowed them to eliminate all that information by having people travel in a virtual environment via teleporter. \"With teleportation, you don't see anything,\" Vass says. \"And nobody feels anything. You're not walking anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet you are still traveling. So your brain still needs to somehow navigate itself to a particular place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team figured that if the slow oscillations in the hippocampus were associated with movement or sensory information, they would stop during teleportation. But if they were involved in navigation, they would continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To find out, the team recruited three volunteers who were awaiting surgery for severe epilepsy. As part of the treatment, surgeons had temporarily placed wires in the patient's brains that monitored electrical activity. This let the UC Davis team measure low-frequency oscillations coming from the hippocampus as they happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"ZqZdp7TzGdkN97o3jJPrcUKPZfcmMbEi\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The volunteers were asked to navigate from place to place in a virtual town. One option was to walk. But in several spots, players could enter a teleportation port that would act as a short cut to a specific spot in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would pop out of the teleporter, and we would give them a new place to find,\" Vass says. \"So we would say, 'OK, now go find the pet store.' And they have to know, 'OK, based on the direction I'm facing now, do I need to turn to the right or the left or is it behind me?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, the brain oscillations in the hippocampus were present while players were moving about in the virtual environment and absent when they stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the critical question for us was what happens as soon as you enter the teleporter,\" Vass says. \"What happens to the oscillation? And what we found was it was still present.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, the oscillation changed a bit depending on whether the person had been teleported a long distance or a short one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, when the volunteers arrived, they knew where they were. During teleportation, their brains had successfully navigated to the new destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is what we call mental navigation,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzsakilab.com/\">Gyorgy Buzsaki\u003c/a>, a brain scientist at New York University who wasn't involved in the teleportation study. \"Somehow the brain can disengage from the environment and we are still navigating mentally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the study's results suggest those low-frequency oscillations are coordinating the activity of neurons involved in mental navigation, Buzsaki says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

When the person or animal stops, so does the oscillation. But it's never been clear whether the signal is truly helping with navigation or just a related function, like movement or processing visual information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/468110269/468149490\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you're walking around the world you have all this incoming information,\" Vass says. \"You have your feet moving and stepping on the ground. You've got landmarks and buildings that you recognize and street signs.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the UC Davis team designed an experiment that allowed them to eliminate all that information by having people travel in a virtual environment via teleporter. \"With teleportation, you don't see anything,\" Vass says. \"And nobody feels anything. You're not walking anywhere.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet you are still traveling. So your brain still needs to somehow navigate itself to a particular place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team figured that if the slow oscillations in the hippocampus were associated with movement or sensory information, they would stop during teleportation. But if they were involved in navigation, they would continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To find out, the team recruited three volunteers who were awaiting surgery for severe epilepsy. As part of the treatment, surgeons had temporarily placed wires in the patient's brains that monitored electrical activity. This let the UC Davis team measure low-frequency oscillations coming from the hippocampus as they happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The volunteers were asked to navigate from place to place in a virtual town. One option was to walk. But in several spots, players could enter a teleportation port that would act as a short cut to a specific spot in town.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They would pop out of the teleporter, and we would give them a new place to find,\" Vass says. \"So we would say, 'OK, now go find the pet store.' And they have to know, 'OK, based on the direction I'm facing now, do I need to turn to the right or the left or is it behind me?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As expected, the brain oscillations in the hippocampus were present while players were moving about in the virtual environment and absent when they stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the critical question for us was what happens as soon as you enter the teleporter,\" Vass says. \"What happens to the oscillation? And what we found was it was still present.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's more, the oscillation changed a bit depending on whether the person had been teleported a long distance or a short one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, when the volunteers arrived, they knew where they were. During teleportation, their brains had successfully navigated to the new destination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is what we call mental navigation,\" says \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzsakilab.com/\">Gyorgy Buzsaki\u003c/a>, a brain scientist at New York University who wasn't involved in the teleportation study. \"Somehow the brain can disengage from the environment and we are still navigating mentally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the study's results suggest those low-frequency oscillations are coordinating the activity of neurons involved in mental navigation, Buzsaki says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

He said engineers, astronauts and members of the public helped convince him that space travel is too important to give up on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crash investigation found that co-pilot Michael Alsbury prematurely unlocked the so-called feathering system that is intended to slow and stabilize the craft as it re-enters the atmosphere. Alsbury was killed, but pilot Peter Siebold, although seriously injured, parachuted to safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The “feathers” — a term derived from the design of a badminton shuttlecock — are tail structures that extend rearward from each wingtip. They are designed to swivel upward at an angle to create drag as the spacecraft reaches its apogee, preventing a buildup of speed and heat as the craft descends.

But a new collection of essays is challenging readers to see another side of California’s iconic boomtown, through the eyes of its factory workers, ice cream cart pushers and metal scrappers. Even a swimming pool installer who predicts who’s going to strike it rich based on the backyard pool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I go all over Silicon Valley building and demolishing pools. The craziest one I saw was in San Jose, I didn’t even know there were huge homes like that on my side of the city, new money in an old part of town, you know? Most clients who want their pools demolished, first off, have a dog or two, are over 50, and have kids who have moved out of the house. Those who want a pool built are up and coming. They either have money, or started making lots of it through one of the many jobs now flourishing in the Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Daniel Zapien, pool installer\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10860353\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 720px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10860353\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/dzapien.jpg\" alt=\"Daniel Zapien, swimming pool installer-turned documentarian.\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/dzapien.jpg 720w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/dzapien-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Daniel Zapien, swimming pool installer-turned documentarian. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Silicon Valley Debug)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Debug: Voices from the Underside of Silicon Valley” bills itself as an “unauthorized diary” of the folks who are struggling to make it in the tech boomtown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We took the name debug from high tech,” says Liz Gonzales, who works with the San Jose-based community journalism group DeBug. “When you are putting together a product and it doesn’t pass quality control, you have to send it over to the debug folks.

That is to say, he hung out with a group of people who blogged on it, read what others wrote on it and dated each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was on Live Journal,” say Gagliano. “My girlfriend was on Live Journal.

It didn’t help that she mentioned what a good time they had and how much she wished they were still together. “This girl that I’ve just started dating sees that I’ve gone out with my ex. And she’s like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ ” You don't need to follow Gagliano's Facebook feed to guess how things progressed from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10861523\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10861523\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS18408_Rico-qut-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"This photo “cunningly doesn't show my who face,” says Rico Gagliano, "the better to protect my public anonymity.

That is to say, he hung out with a group of people who blogged on it, read what others wrote on it and dated each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was on Live Journal,” say Gagliano. “My girlfriend was on Live Journal. We dated, and then we broke up. That was fine. We were still friends.

It didn’t help that she mentioned what a good time they had and how much she wished they were still together. “This girl that I’ve just started dating sees that I’ve gone out with my ex. And she’s like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ ” You don't need to follow Gagliano's Facebook feed to guess how things progressed from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10861523\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10861523\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/02/RS18408_Rico-qut-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"This photo “cunningly doesn't show my who face,” says Rico Gagliano, "the better to protect my public anonymity.
