I spent the last few months investigating conditions at the UCSF ER for @MLNow. Providers say understaffing is endangering patient safety and causing preventable injuries, even death. “We have found people literally dead in gurneys,” one told me. missionlocal.org/2026/05/ucs…

‘We can no longer pretend:’ Patients suffer at understaffed UCSF ER, providers say

Providers at UCSF's Parnassus ER say understaffing has reached a crisis point. One described seeing patients dead on a gurney.

“Because it’s a system, and all the pieces are connected to each other, that means people are going to wait longer, and yes, they’re going to die. I’ve seen that happen," Dr. Abir said.

Recently moved from Chicago to San Francisco (though I'm still doing some editing for @EvRoundTable), and excited to share my first article with the KneeDeep Times, a climate resilience magazine in the Bay Area kneedeeptimes.org/alameda-ba…

I wrote about Schill’s hearing yesterday. Among other things, he discussed not giving in to student demands and his rejection of divestment. You can read more here: evanstonroundtable.com/2024/…

NU told our reporters yesterday they couldn't access Deering Meadow "for their safety," perhaps because cops will attempt to break up the encampment again at some point. But the university is OK with their student journalists being in the middle of that?

*taps mic* is this thing on? After a contentious process that included hundreds of hours of public meetings, City Council approved NU's Ryan Field rebuild, concerts and benefits package last night. @alexhairysun and I were there every step of the way. evanstonroundtable.com/2023/…

Finally, it's done: Council approves Ryan Field rebuild, concerts, NU benefits agreement - Evanston...

Mayor Daniel Biss cast the tie breaking vote to approve both concerts at the new Ryan Field and a public benefits deal with Northwestern.

In our story, we go deep into the negotiations between Evanston and NU, the benefits offered, the vote and the fractures in the community that now need mending. We will certainly follow the demolition and construction process, but for now, we rest.
