"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.",

Those funds, also known as indirect cost reimbursements, are typically used to pay for non-research-related operating costs such as waste disposal and lab equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in Massachusetts \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026447/judge-blocks-trump-plan-cut-research-funding-after-california-other-states-sue\">temporarily blocked the policy change\u003c/a> the day it was set to take effect after California and several other states filed a lawsuit alleging that the proposed cuts violate grant regulations. The pause was extended last week, but it is uncertain whether the policy will ultimately take effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Stanford leadership has previously said the university would lose $160 million in federal funding if the policy goes through, possibly affecting its ability to facilitate new research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A cut of this magnitude would potentially have deep impacts on medical care, human health, and America’s place in the world as the leader of biomedical research,” Stanford administrators said in a Feb. 8 statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12028300 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/PresidioSFGetty.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other universities were similarly concerned after the policy was announced. The University of California, which received over $2 billion in contract and grant funding last year, said the change to indirect cost reimbursements could result in the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the possible loss of federal funding is not the only issue facing major private universities. A stepped-up endowment tax would be a major hit for Stanford, which has the third-largest endowment of any school in the United States at $37.6 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current tax rate on university endowments is 1.4% for private schools with at least 500 students, but some Republican members of Congress are pushing to increase the tax rate. A bill introduced by Rep. Troy Nehls (R–Texas) would raise the endowment tax rate to 21%. Another one forwarded by Rep.

The university has plans to bring in contract workers to minimize disruptions to patients, students and school operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, the parties agreed that dozens of employees essential to health and safety operations will not participate in the strike. The UC withdrew its request to the California Public Employment Relation Board for a court injunction against the unions, according to Felix De La Torre, general counsel for the PERB.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both UPTE Local 9119 and AFSCME Local 3299 have accused the university of engaging in unfair labor practices before state regulators, including for an alleged crackdown on free speech, which the university denies. The PERB is investigating the charges, and Hansen said the process could take months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of our responsibility to our patients, it’s important that we are able to speak out when we see things that are detrimental to the quality of that care,” said Michael McGlenn, a clinical psychologist at UC San Diego. “The UC has moved to restrict our ability to speak out and advocate for our patient… Our providers care too much about the folks that we serve to be silenced and we’re not going to keep our heads down any longer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The labor action comes as the federal government and the National Institutes of Health threaten to cut funding for biomedical and public research at universities and research facilities across the country. Earlier this month, a federal judge in Massachusetts placed a temporary block on the cuts, which the university said would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars per year, after \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026447/judge-blocks-trump-plan-cut-research-funding-after-california-other-states-sue\">California and several other states filed suit\u003c/a>.

That decline was more than triple the one seen the week before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the decrease in testing positivity rates could be a sign that the season has passed its peak, some health experts are warning that numbers could go up again and urge \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027283/forgot-your-flu-vaccine-with-historic-infections-its-not-too-late-for-a-shot\">those who haven’t been vaccinated yet\u003c/a> to do so as soon as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A similar drop was reported in early January but only lasted a couple of weeks before rates climbed up again, said Dr. John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health, noting that flu season typically peaks around the middle of February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s possible we could get lulled into the same mistake that we made in the middle of January … but I think this drop coincides more with what we typically see with influenza,” Swartzberg said. “I’m cautiously optimistic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12009848\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12009848\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/GettyImages-2168147137-scaled-e1740515847601.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1359\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man receives both the flu and COVID-19 vaccine at a CVS in August 2024. \u003ccite>(Christina House / Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that there have been at least 33 million confirmed cases of influenza, 430,000 hospitalizations and 19,000 deaths across the country \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12027212/missing-cdc-data-concerns-doctors-as-influenza-and-bird-flu-outbreaks-escalate\">during this flu season\u003c/a> alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, influenza activity remains high even as numbers begin to go down, and at least 15 children have died from flu-related complications — raising concerns about declining pediatric vaccination rates. Swartzberg said it’s worrying to see so many pediatric deaths because children tend to be resilient when it comes to fighting illnesses outside of infancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two influenza strains circulating most rapidly this flu season are H1N1 and H3N2, both of which are influenza-type A strains.

"content": "\u003cp>A coalition of LGBTQ organizations across the U.S. have united to sue the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Trump administration\u003c/a>. Led by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, the lawsuit was filed Thursday in response to three executive orders targeting transgender people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026891/california-lawmakers-push-protect-free-hiv-prevention-amid-legal-threats\">HIV funding\u003c/a>, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since being inaugurated one month ago, President Donald Trump has rolled out dozens of executive orders that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12026447/judge-blocks-trump-plan-cut-research-funding-after-california-other-states-sue\">cities and states have challenged\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit follows the termination of federal funding for organizations that serve transgender people and engage in “equity-related” work. It argues that the executive orders “pose an existential threat to transgender people and the organizations that respect their existence” and should be “declared unconstitutional and blocked from implementation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive orders prevent nonprofits from providing programs and services such as HIV treatment, homelessness prevention, sexual and reproductive health screenings and other resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four of the nine organizations in the coalition of queer and HIV-focused organizations are based in California. Dr. Tyler TerMeer, CEO of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, said the organization has been ordered to scrub mention of transgender and non-binary people from their website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12020619 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/01/Sally-Gearhart-courtesy-of-Deborah-Craig.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve had to watch in real time as the current administration has weaponized federal funding to try and force us into compliance with policies that have seeked to erase transgender people,” TerMeer said. “This lawsuit is about more than just policy. It’s about survival for the people we serve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit argues that the executive orders are in violation of the First, Fifth and 14th amendments by restricting freedom of expression, due process and equal protection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lambda Legal, the firm representing the coalition lawsuit, has battled head-to-head with Trump in the past, suing in 2020 over DEI policies that prohibited contractors from conducting workplace training addressing the existence of structural racism and sexism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was because of Lambda Legal’s history in standing up for queer and diverse communities that made the San Francisco Aids Foundation select the firm. However, the foundation’s board members debated the decision to pursue the lawsuit due to the risk of counter-litigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the board decided that the fight was worth the risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are in for a fight, but what I keep trying to remind the people around me — if we remain grounded in our values and remind ourselves that those values are not for sale, the mission of the org is not up for negotiation,” TerMeer said. “We can’t be silenced, and our community can’t be erased just to satisfy the hateful political agenda ahead of us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It argues that the executive orders “pose an existential threat to transgender people and the organizations that respect their existence” and should be “declared unconstitutional and blocked from implementation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
