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.",

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. The feathers then rotate back down to normal flying position as the craft enters the lower atmosphere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/07/29/427473040/spaceship-2-pilot-was-thrown-from-the-vehicle-high-in-atmosphere\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A National Transportation Safety Board investigation found\u003c/a> that Scaled Composites, a company that was developing SpaceShipTwo with Virgin Galactic and was responsible for its test program, should have had systems to compensate for human error. The NTSB chairman, Christopher Hart, said it wasn’t a matter of shortcuts but of not considering a crew member would make the mistake that occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virgin Galactic subsequently assumed full responsibility to complete the test program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company stressed in a statement Thursday its commitment to testing from the level of individual parts on up to the complete craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our team’s job is to plan out not just the obvious tests but also the strange and inventive ones, to conduct those tests, and to use the data from those tests to re-examine everything about our vehicle to ensure we can take the next step forward,” it said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company did not project a timeline for actually carrying space tourists, noting that “our new vehicle will remain on the ground for a while after her unveiling, as we run her through full-vehicle tests of her electrical systems and all of her moving parts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SpaceShipTwo is the successor to SpaceShipOne, the winged rocket plane that won the $10 million Ansari X Prize in 2004 by demonstrating a reusable spacecraft capable of carrying three people could make two flights within two weeks to an altitude of least 100 kilometers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prize announced in 1996 was intended to spur the development of private manned spaceflight in the same way the Orteig Prize offered in 1919 fostered trans-Atlantic aviation. Charles Lindbergh won that prize with his nonstop flight from New York to Paris in 1927.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like SpaceShipOne, SpaceShipTwo is carried aloft beneath the wing of a mothership — a special jet aircraft that releases it at an altitude of about 45,000 feet. After gliding for a few moments, SpaceShipTwo’s pilots ignite the rocket engine to send the craft hurtling toward space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After reaching the top of its suborbital trajectory, the spacecraft begins falling back toward Earth and glides to a landing on a runway.\u003c/p>\n\n",

CDPH and OEHHA are also recommending that water or broth used to cook whole crabs be discarded and not used to prepare dishes such as sauces, broths, soups or stews. The viscera usually contain much higher levels of domoic acid than crab body meat. When whole crabs are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may leach from the viscera into the cooking liquid. This precaution is being recommended to avoid harm in the unlikely event that some crabs taken from an open fishery have elevated levels of domoic acid.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/hab/habs_toxins/marine_biotoxins/da/\" target=\"_blank\">Domoic acid\u003c/a> is a potentially fatal toxin produced by a microscopic species of algae that may have flourished in the eastern Pacific in 2015 because of unusually warm water temperatures.

Dungeness crabs will remain off-limits in California waters north of the 38th parallel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department of Public Health and its Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment are still recommending that consumers exercise an extra level of caution when eating fresh-caught California Dungeness:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Despite several weeks of samples below alert levels, as a precaution, CDPH and OEHHA recommend that anglers and consumers not eat the viscera (internal organs, also known as “butter” or “guts”) of crabs. CDPH and OEHHA are also recommending that water or broth used to cook whole crabs be discarded and not used to prepare dishes such as sauces, broths, soups or stews. The viscera usually contain much higher levels of domoic acid than crab body meat. When whole crabs are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may leach from the viscera into the cooking liquid. This precaution is being recommended to avoid harm in the unlikely event that some crabs taken from an open fishery have elevated levels of domoic acid.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nwfsc.noaa.gov/hab/habs_toxins/marine_biotoxins/da/\" target=\"_blank\">Domoic acid\u003c/a> is a potentially fatal toxin produced by a microscopic species of algae that may have flourished in the eastern Pacific in 2015 because of unusually warm water temperatures.

It is intended for people ages 10 to 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine was developed in a new way, a \"terrific accomplishment\" technologically, Meissner said. But because of the shortened approval process, much is not known about it. \"We don't know if it impacts herd immunity,\" he says, in reference to vaccinating enough of a population to keep a disease that crops up from spreading. \"We don't know how long immunity lasts.

It's possible Misha was infected with a strain that is not included in the vaccine. Meissner said there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that the vaccine makes the course of the disease less severe, if someone does become infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while meningococcal group B infections are rare -- just \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2013/t1125-serogroup-b-meningitis.html\" target=\"_blank\">160 cases in 2012\u003c/a> -- they can be devastating, often striking young, healthy people. Nelson's son rows crew and was a member of an eight-man boat that won a national title last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public health officials are now watching to see how the vaccine performs, says Dr. James Watt with the California Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These vaccines have been used in outbreaks,\" he said. \"They have appeared to have an impact, so that's good news.\" Together with the Santa Clara County Public Health Department, Santa Clara University ran four vaccine clinics, ending Monday. Nearly 5,000 of the university's 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students received the first dose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_146287\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-146287\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2016/02/Penny-400x533.jpg\" alt=\"Penny Nelson with her son, Misha.

Instead, it received a \"permissive\" recommendation, meaning that doctors can administer it if they feel it is in the best interest of the adolescent. Some people at high risk\u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/mening-serogroup.html\" target=\"_blank\"> should be immunized\u003c/a>, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including anyone with a damaged or removed spleen, sickle cell anemia or who has a rare immune system condition known as \"complement deficiency.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California follows CDC guidelines, so does not require the vaccine for school-age children. Watt says California colleges and universities set their own vaccine guidelines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, cases are dropping. In the late 1990s, there were 1-2 cases per 100,000 people. Now it's 0.1 per 100,000. \"Meningococcal disease is disappearing in the U.S.,\" Meissner says. \"No one knows why.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of everything else, this vaccine is expensive, more than $300 for the series. Meissner published \u003ca href=\"http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2491460\" target=\"_blank\">an analysis\u003c/a> in Monday's JAMA spotlighting the challenges of providing such an expensive vaccine for such a rare disease. As many as 350,000 adolescents would need to be vaccinated to prevent one case of disease, he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This vaccine is 25 times higher [in cost] than any other vaccine,\" he told me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is this the way we want to be spending scarce funds for public health?\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Seaman didn’t start out as a climate change activist. As a member of a small Native American tribe on the East Coast called the Shinnecock, Seaman grew up with a healthy respect for nature. But she might have never visited the Arctic if it weren’t for a fortuitous offer from Alaska Airlines when she was flying out of Oakland back in the 1990s: The airline offered the artist a free flight anywhere in its network in exchange for being bumped from a flight.

But the venue is also hosting a series of \u003ca href=\"http://www.browercenter.org/exhibitions/vanishing-ice/events\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">related events\u003c/a>, like a talk with Matilsky in February, and an evening of music with \u003ca href=\"http://www.otherminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Other Minds\u003c/a> in May, featuring San Francisco composer \u003ca href=\"http://www.allwaysnorth.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheryl Leonard\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leonard has written several pieces using natural objects found in polar regions that will be performed at the concert . In \u003cem>Melt Water\u003c/em>, her instruments are icicles, hung so as to drip into scientific glass ware.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Seaman, Leonard sees her work as a form of documentation, as well as art. “The sonic landscape in these places will change and perhaps these sounds will become extinct,” Leonard says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford University Professor \u003ca href=\"http://climatepublicopinion.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jon Krosnick\u003c/a>, who’s studied American attitudes about climate change for two decades, believes that Americans are really starting to understand the impact of global warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re used to seeing the country split 50-50 on many issues,” Krosnick says. “In about 25 surveys, conducted over two decades, most people believe the earth has been growing warmer over the last century. Between about 75 and 80 percent of Americans say they believe that’s probably been happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Museum curators reflect this shift in awareness, in part, reflecting the interest of artists they build shows around. It’s hard to spit without hitting an exhibition that touches on climate change. Some, like the one at 1337 Gallery in San Rafael, are simply called \u003ca href=\"http://www.artworksdowntown.org/exhibits/current/1337-current\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Climate Change\u003c/a>. Others, like \u003ca href=\"http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/2015/the-idea-of-north-the-paintings-of-lawren-harris/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Idea of North\u003c/a>, just finished at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, broadly hint at the subject.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can these public conversations move people to take meaningful action? Krosnick is optimistic in this regard. “The world’s most important photographs are typically pictures that powerfully communicate the agony of people far away from us in a way that makes it human,” Krosnick says. “That highlights the potential for artists to activate our emotions in ways that make a real difference in how we think about very concrete, very everyday issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Icebergs, Including One That Rolls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://embed-ssl.ted.com/talks/camille_seaman_haunting_photos_of_ice.html\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Between about 75 and 80 percent of Americans say they believe that’s probably been happening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Museum curators reflect this shift in awareness, in part, reflecting the interest of artists they build shows around. It’s hard to spit without hitting an exhibition that touches on climate change. Some, like the one at 1337 Gallery in San Rafael, are simply called \u003ca href=\"http://www.artworksdowntown.org/exhibits/current/1337-current\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Climate Change\u003c/a>. Others, like \u003ca href=\"http://hammer.ucla.edu/exhibitions/2015/the-idea-of-north-the-paintings-of-lawren-harris/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Idea of North\u003c/a>, just finished at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, broadly hint at the subject.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Can these public conversations move people to take meaningful action? Krosnick is optimistic in this regard. “The world’s most important photographs are typically pictures that powerfully communicate the agony of people far away from us in a way that makes it human,” Krosnick says. “That highlights the potential for artists to activate our emotions in ways that make a real difference in how we think about very concrete, very everyday issues.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Icebergs, Including One That Rolls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
