tests throughout the city in their own community. here we're at the south center in the bay view. we are fully staffed. we have some folks that are go to go get their vaccine today. we're so grateful you are here to be an example to your community and family. the delta variant continues to be a very serious threat. as we move forward, i just want to say that to reiterate that the vaccine is safe and in san francisco it is extremely easy and convenient to get one. we will continue to work together with our partners to make that vaccine and testing available. we've done so well, 75% is great. we really have to focus on our

most vulnerable populations and protect each other. thank you very much and if you haven't got a vaccine, please go to sf dot gov, get vaccinated to find all the locations. >> : thank you. i just want to thank a lot of our first responders and the folks who work here. they have been out and about from day one helping to get the community vaccinated. i've been told by so many people who live in this community when they come to this location, they are treated with a smile and so much love and respect. we truly appreciate you and all you have done and will continue to do to get us to a place where hopefully we'll see a 100% vaccination rate in san

francisco. with that, i'll take a few questions and then me and my people are going to go in there and get vaccinated. i'm going to hold their hands and do this. any questions? the question centered around getting this message out in a different way. we started -- we knew sadly in low income communities and communities of color it has a significant impact. we embedded a equity response. a number of agencies we work with that have direct relationship with folks in this

community. they have been the ones to help various campaigns to get people excited about getting a vaccination. unfortunately it has slowed down. we expected it to slow down. when you look at what san francisco is doing and even our communities of color compared to any other major city in this country, there no comparison. we did a really great job. we need to do more because what's important to me is saving lives as it has been since the beginning of this pandemic. we'll continue to push messages and get people engaged. nothing is better than a direct conversation with someone you know and love. not an argument, a conversation. not necessarily making people feel guilty or bad but helping them understand. it's really about a relationship of trust. a lot of people i contacted and

talked to in my family, a lot of times it turned into an argument. the fact is i love them and want to keep them safe. i get someone on the phone and explain that variant thing you talked about. it's doing our part to get our relatives vaccinated and protect our community. any data about what? >> : the question was about are we seeing any vaccinated people

testing positive for covid 19. the bottom line is if you're vaccinated, the vaccines are very powerful in preventing hospitalizations and protecting you from covid. there are going to be what we call break through infections. with all this attention of break through infections, the difference between getting covid if you're fully vaccinated and not could be the difference between sniffles and suffocation. i want to make that very clear. if you do get covid 19 if you're fully vaccinated. the vast majority will have only mild symptoms. i think it's really important to emphasize the fact that people need to get vaccinated. there will be some people who

become infected that are are vaccinated. but my god, such a better outcome if you're vaccinated. the mayor said already at the disuker berg hospital with covid, all of them are unvaccinated. you see the deaths. everybody who died in maryland who had covid were unvaccinated. we should be focusing on access to vaccines particularly in the african american community right here today. thank you. >> : the question was are we

considering reinstituting mask mandates. we're considering basically providing guidance on suggested mask wearing in certain instances. we do ask that people who are not vaccinated when they go indoors wear a mask. for those vaccinated we don't have a mask requirement further than that. we're looking at a change to the policy but not necessarily a mandate. all right. thank you. and now let's go get vaccinated.

>> when i first started painting it was difficult to get my foot in the door and contractors and mostly men would have a bad attitude towards me or not want to answer my questions or not include me and after you prove yourself, which i have done, i don't face that obstacle as much anymore. ♪♪♪ my name is nita riccardi, i'm a painter for the city of san francisco and i have my own business as a painting contractor since 1994 called winning colors. my mother was kind of resistant. none of my brothers were painter. i went to college to be a

chiropractor and i couldn't imagine being in an office all day. i dropped out of college to become a painter. >> we have been friends for about 15-20 years. we both decided that maybe i could work for her and so she hired me as a painter. she was always very kind. i wasn't actually a painter when she hired me and that was pretty cool but gave me an opportunity to learn the trade with her company. i went on to different job opportunities but we stayed friends. the division that i work for with san francisco was looking for a painter and so i suggested to my supervisor maybe we can give nita a shot. >> the painting i do for the city is primarily maintenance painting and i take care of anything from pipes on the roof to maintaining the walls and beautifying the bathrooms and graffiti removal. the work i do for myself is

different because i'm not actually a painter. i'm a painting contractor which is a little different. during the construction boom in the late 80s i started doing new construction and then when i moved to san francisco, i went to san francisco state and became fascinated with the architecture and got my contractor's licence and started painting victorians and kind of gravitated towards them. my first project that i did was a 92 room here in the mission. it was the first sro. i'm proud of that and it was challenging because it was occupied and i got interior and exterior and i thought it would take about six weeks to do it and it took me a whole year. >> nita makes the city more beautiful and one of the things that makes her such a great contractor, she has a magical

touch around looking at a project and bringing it to its fullest fruition. sometimes her ideas to me might seem a little whacky. i might be like that is a little crazy. but if you just let her do her thing, she is going to do something incredible, something amazing and that will have a lot of pop in it. and she's really talented at that. >> ultimately it depends on what the customer wants. sometimes they just want to be understated or blend in and other times they let me decide and then all the doors are open and they want me to create. they hire me to do something beautiful and i do. and that's when work is really fun. i get to be creative and express what i want. paint a really happy house or something elegant or dignified. >> it's really cool to watch

what she does. not only that, coming up as a woman, you know what i mean, and we're going back to the 80s with it. where the world wasn't so liberal. it was tough, especially being lgbtq, right, she had a lot of friction amongst trades and a lot of people weren't nice to her, a lot of people didn't give her her due respect. and one of the things amazing about nita, she would never quit. >> after you prove yourself, which i have done, i don't face that obstacle as much anymore. i'd like to be a mentor to other women also. i have always wanted to do that. they may not want to go to school but there's other options. there's trades. i encourage women to apply for my company, i'd be willing to train and happy to do that. there's a shortage of other women painters.

for any women who want to get into a trade or painting career, just start with an apprenticeship or if you want to do your own business, you have to get involved and find a mentor and surround yourself with other people that are going to encourage you to move forward and inspire you and support you and you can't give up. >> we've had a lot of history, nita and i. we've been friends and we have been enemies and we've had conflicts and we always gravitate towards each other with a sense of loyalty that maybe family would have. we just care about each other. >> many of the street corners in all the districts in san francisco, there will be a painting job i have completed and it will be a beautiful paint job. it will be smooth and gold leaf and just wow. and you can't put it down. when i first started, it was hard to get employees to listen

to me and go along -- but now, i have a lot of respect. >> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any

difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. >> the hon. london breed: hello, everyone. i'm san francisco mayor london breed, and i want to thank you for being here today this monday. i remember during the pandemic, every day felt like a monday because many of us were indoors, working from home, and

after 15 long, long months, finally, we are seeing the light that we continue to talk about at the end of the tunnel. at least 76% of san franciscans are fully vaccinated, and 83% of san franciscans have received at least their first dose. it's good news in san francisco, but i want to also caution those who have not been vaccinated. this new variant is very, very strong, it's very powerful, and dr. colfax and i talked about last week, and the people that we see at san francisco general hospital, none of them have been vaccinated. so keep that in mind as we begin to move forward and we begin to reopen our amazing city. this past weekend, i had a good time in san francisco. in fact, i was in probably almost every single neighborhood in the tenderloin, where we opened up safe streets, and i got a chance to

eat at this incredible new restaurant, sun and garden. it was just really happening down there. went to potrero hill, spent some time there, a s.t.e.m. program and block party for the community. came down to chinatown for a unity event, with folks from the chinatown community, from the african american community and latino community, with organizations like c.y.c. and other amazing organizations. i met so many people who were not just from san francisco, but there were a lot of people visiting that were so happy to be in our city, to be in our

stores and shop once again in person. it was absolutely amazing. and as proud as we are that san francisco as it relates to covid has been one of the safest cities when it comes to fighting against this virus, we have work to do to make sure that when people come to san francisco and they visit our museums, and they stop, and they go to our shops, and they go to see hamilton at the orpheum, that they're safe. they're not concerned about getting their car broken into, they're not concerned about getting attacked and robbed, that they're not concerned about witnessing one of these crimes, as well. this pandemic.

-- this pandemic, we've seen a lot of times of people lifting up and helping out one another, but sadly, we've seen a lot of terrifying events that were very hard to watch on video, and i want to say something from the last time the chief and i had a press conference about the data and what we plan to do about the data. in almost every single instance when there was a violent attack, this police department, the guys and the women standing behind me here today, and the chief, they have made arrests, and i've asked the press and others to make sure that we make it clear to the public that you will not get away with committing these horrible acts in our city. we will do everything we can with our investigators, with our work, with our video and surveillance and other things that are available to make sure that we hold people

accountable. so part of the whole point that we're here is because we don't want these crimes to happen in the first place. we want people to not commit crimes in san francisco. we have so many incredible opportunities to help people with employment, to help them start their businesses. really, at this point, with all the investment that san francisco has made, there's no reason for people to resort to these horrible crimes that we see. but in the meantime, we know that we're a big city, and we know that some things will happen, and part of what we want to do is to put resources in the appropriate places to prevent as much of these things from happening at possible. in alamo square, i noticed when i was walking in that area, there were two officers riding

their bikes up that very, very, very steep hill, and you all know what i'm talking about. and i thought to myself, this is amazing. this is what i was to see. the chief and i have been having some very tough conversations, and as a result of those conversations, we have implemented, in addition to all the other programs that we have out there, dealing with the challenges of this city, we have an announcement today that the tourist deployment plan, which will be a part of a concerted effort in this city to provide additional police officers in many of our tourist locations in an increased capacity will be important to tourism as we begin to reopen the city, so you will see more officers in chinatown. you will see more officers at the palace of fine arts and in alamo square and in union square and in north beach, and places where we see large

numbers of tourists, and pier 38. because we know it's not just people who are visiting our city who want to feel safe, it's the people that live here, and we want to make sure that we see our community, and people know that there are folks here watching, and that people know that if you choose to commit a crime in this city, that you will be held accountable, and people will be held responsible. the other day, i was watching the news, and the cable car, which you all know that the cable car will be open and free to everyone, but be patient. the schedule is in flux. they were talking about their

experiences, they brought their family to visit, and they did notice a visit. they'd heard stories, but they noticed a difference here in san francisco. i want people to feel safe and good about being a part of what i think is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. people will continue to visit our city. let's make sure that we continue to do the work so that when they go back to their respective communities, they can talk about how great of an experience they had in san francisco, and it definitely starts with making sure that we have the right resources in the right locations so that people feel that way. and with that, to talk more about our tourism deployment plan will be our chief of police, bill scott. [applause] >> thank you, mayor.

first of all, let me thank mayor breed for her leadership and her support. i can't stress how important it is to this police department and to the city. i'm going to get a little bit into the weeds in explaining what this plan is all about, but first of all, let me say that this is all about resilience. when you look behind me, and to my left and to my right, we have the leader of our city, london breed, and our supervisors present. we have our supervisor, ahsha safai, and we have our service leaders, which is our officers and our command staff, when you put it all together, you have our community coming together to be resilient.

we reflect our saul values of safety with respect, and it's really not just all about the police officers. as i said, it's about police, civic leaders, community, elected officials. we all have to come together to make our city better and to make our city safer. so with mayor breed's leadership and support, we deployed a plan -- devised a plan to deploy 26 additional officers on corridors and in districts. here in the central district, where captain julian ng who's behind me with several of his central district officers, they safeguard the largest number of city destinations popular with our tourists who visit our city. the new deployment in central will feature 14 officers on

bikes and foot patrol. if you go to pier 39, fisherman's wharf, north beach, and the crookedest part of our city, lombard street, where we've had some issues, you should be seeing officers there, and those officers are making a difference. thank you. in the messenger district, under the command of rachel moran, who's also behind me, new deployments will feature new officers on patrol. in the upper district, new deployment will feature six officers on bicycle patrols, in the marina, around the palace of fine arts. news to people breaking in to cars around the palace of fine arts, we will find you, and you will be caught.

japantown, and up the hill, there's not a more beautiful picture of the city than when you stand in alamo square and see city hall and the rest of the city. we need officers to be there all the time, and they will be there. we'll be seeing two new officers deployed on bicycle patrol on the haight-ashbury, a high, high tourist area. in the richmond police district, you'll be seeing two additional officers on bicycle patrols in the golden gate park. as i was coming to this press conference, i heard officers on the radio interrupting a car break in in golden gate park. that's what it's about. we want to let people doing these crimes that we're already there, we're not going to tolerate this nonsense, and we're going to catch you.

i want to stress these additional deployments under this plan will supplement, not detract, from our additional citywide deployment. as the mayor said, we're going through some challenging times right now, and we have to make some tough decisions. i'd like to thank our mayor, board of supervisors, for giving us additional overtime this year. that's making this happen. i also want to thank the additional community members who made their voices heard, that they want more san francisco police officers in their community. they want the right type of policing, they want constitutional policing, they want policing that's respectful, but they want policing. thank you for making your voice be known. now i'm going to talk about the importance of curism, and you'll hear from gerald

d'alessandro next. there's something magical did this city that you just want to be a part of it. when people come here to be a part of our city, we want them to have a great experience. don't take our word. ask anyone who's an expert in the field, police officers matter when it comes to keeping people safe and when it comes to keeping our most treasured iconic locations safe. when we increased our presence this those locations, crime went down, and i am so grateful that we have a mayor and a board that support us. we're not where we need to be, but we're well on our way to being in a better place. so on behalf of all the members

of the san francisco police department and the officers that are standing behind me that are doing the work, these are the folks that are doing the work standing behind me. i want to thank you for being here, i want to thank all of our elected officials, and for the 15 million or so people that visit our city year in and year out, we want you to know that this is a safe city, this is a great city, and we welcome you here, and we will take care of you when you're here. so with that, i'd like to turn it over to the c.e.o. of s.f. travel, joe d'alessandro. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, mayor, and thank you, chief. this is a very exciting announcement for san francisco's recovery from the pandemic. we're grateful for the leadership of mayor breed, chief scott, and the san

francisco police department. tourism is san francisco's number one industry. proceed covid, san francisco welcomes over 25 million visitors who spent over $10 billion a year in our accommodations, retail, small businesses, restaurants, and cultural institutions. our city employed -- industry employed over 86,000 people in san francisco. due to covid, we saw a 95% decrease in tourism to the city and a 76% decrease in employees in the industry. i applaud this effort. it's going to go a long way to make sure that san francisco's

economy rebounds strongly, and that the tourism industry rebounds with san francisco strongly. the number one thing that people want to feel when they go to a destination is safety and security, and this will enable people to feel safe, and san francisco will make a difference, and this will make our city a safer place to visit. so thank you, mayor breed and chief, and everyone who worked hard to make this happen. it's going to make a difference to all people who visit san francisco. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. my name is larry yee. i'm the police commissioner and also president of the [inaudible] and benevolent

association. we're very pleased now with the mayor breed and chief scott bringing in 26 additional officers making it safe for us here in chinatown, in the city, and throughout the community for our residents and visitors. so we're very pleased that additional officers are deployed here, and i can say from my experience yesterday, it was great to be here in chinatown, it was great to be in the city as we open up the city for all. we can enjoy it, we're stronger together when everybody comes out, and, again, i'm going to say to our men and women in blue, i thank you for your sacrifice and your commitment here to chinatown and to the city of san francisco. i thank you very much.

[applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you, commissioner yee, and thank you to everyone here. i just want to take this opportunity to also thank all of the -- i know that we're here in chinatown, but there are so many people that are here from all over the city in those areas, and i want to take an opportunity -- thank you, henry, so much, from the council of district merchants for being here. thank you, kyra murphy, for project safe. she does a great presentation to help keep us safe. thank you to masood from the council of district merchants, rodney fong from the san francisco chamber of commerce.

randall scott from fisherman's wharf community business district, also one of our airport commissioners, and grace, thank you so much for coming out here from japantown. scott sampson from california academy of sciences, the north beach merchants are here. the -- as i said, haight street merchants are here, and also, thank you, dennis wu from o'papa. i want to reiterate something that the chief said. it's because of the work that we did together with the board of supervisors to provide not just additional academy classes to ensure these retiring and leaving the department for various reasons, that we backfill those positions. and also, when we do need officers, we do rely on overtime to get more officers out on the streets. so i want to thank supervisor

ahsha safai for being here. he serves on the budget committee, and he was a strong supporter of the budget and the work that we had to do to get to this place. now as i said, it's a major city. we have challenges, but we are going to continue as we see those challenges, as we see the data, as we see covid, to be proactive in those instances to ensure that we can do everything we can to keep the visitors and the people of this city safe. i want to thank everybody here for their work and their advocacy. as we reopen, i want to see anything but smiles -- i don't want to see anything but smiles on people's faces. we don't want to go back to masks, and we don't want to see any sad faces because of your experiences. we only want people to walk away from san francisco with a smile on their face, so thank

you so much, everyone, for being here today. >> we have private and public gardens throughout the garden tour. all of the gardens are volunteers. the only requirement is you're willing to show your garden for

a day. so we have gardens that vary from all stages of development and all gardens, family gardens, private gardens, some of them as small as postage stamps and others pretty expansive. it's a variety -- all of the world is represented in our gardens here in the portola. >> i have been coming to the portola garden tour for the past seven or eight years ever since i learned about it because it is the most important event of the neighborhood, and the reason it is so important is because it links this neighborhood back to its history. in the early 1800s the portola was farmland. the region's flowers were grown in this neighborhood. if you wanted flowers anywhere

future bay area, you would come to this area to get them. in the past decade, the area has tried to reclaim its roots as the garden district. one of the ways it has done that is through the portola garden tour, where neighbors open their gardens open their gardens to people of san francisco so they can share that history. >> when i started meeting with the neighbors and seeing their gardens, i came up with this idea that it would be a great idea to fundraise. we started doing this as a fund-raiser. since we established it, we awarded 23 scholarships and six work projects for the students. >> the scholarship programs that we have developed in association with the portola is just a

win-win-win situation all around. >> the scholarship program is important because it helps people to be able to tin in their situation and afford to take classes. >> i was not sure how i would stay in san francisco. it is so expensive here. i prayed so i would receive enough so i could stay in san francisco and finish my school, which is fantastic, because i don't know where else i would have gone to finish. >> the scholarships make the difference between students being able to stay here in the city and take classes and having to go somewhere else. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> you come into someone's home and it's they're private and personal space. it's all about them and really their garden and in the city and urban environment, the garden is the extension of their indoor

environment, their outdoor living room. >> why are you here at this garden core? it's amazing and i volunteer here every year. this is fantastic. it's a beautiful day. you walk around and look at gardens. you meet people that love gardens. it's fantastic. >> the portola garden tour is the last saturday in september every year. mark your calendars every year. you can see us on the website >> hi. i'm chris manners, and you're watching coping with covid-19. here are some suggestions about how to deal with poor air quality from wildfires. they're pretty similar to how we're dealing with covid-19:

staying inside and wearing a mask. [♪♪♪] >> the best thing to do when the air quality is poor is to stay inside and have your windows and doors closed. some modern heater units can clear the air indoors if they have a fan setting. another alternative is to consider purchasing a fan set up. if you need to go outside, wear a mask and keep your outdoor activities as short as possible. if you're driving, avoid the outside smoke by running recirculated air in your car and keeping your windows up. unfortunately, cloth and surgical masks don't protect you from wildfire smoke, and n95 masks, while effective, are still prioritized for essential workers. there are other options, though. some cloth masks have a pocket that fits a p.m. 2.5 air

filter. worn properly, they can help protect you from fine particulate matter. while they're not exactly the same, they provide effective protection from the virus and wildfire smoke. limit your exposure and avoid demanding outdoor activities. check the filters in your heating unit, and also your car's passenger compartment air filter. replace them if they're clogged or overly dirty. another thing to check is your vacuum cleaner. it could degrade your indoor air if the bag is full or clogged with dust. checking local a.q.i. values is a good way to know when it's

safe to go outside. there are websites and apps you can check for data, and you can also sign up for the air quality alerts. less official sources, such as purple air, and the visual app also provide reliable data. and air s.f. will send you air quality alert if you text your phone number to 888777. finally, try to not create indoor pollution by not smoking inside and lighting candles or incense. you can cut down on driving and other outside driving and other activities that produce dust and emissions like barbecuing or using outdoor fireplaces.

here's a quick recap. and that's it for this episode. you've been watching coping withit. >> shop & dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges resident to do their shop & dine in the 49 within the 49 square miles of san francisco by supporting local services in the neighborhood we help san francisco remain unique successful and vibrant so we're will you shop & dine in the 49 chinatown has to be one the best unique shopping areas in san francisco that is color fulfill and safe each vegetation and seafood and find everything in chinatown

the walk shop in chinatown welcome to jason dessert i'm the fifth generation of candy in san francisco still that serves 2000 district in the chinatown in the past it was the tradition and my family was the royal chef in the pot pals that's why we learned this stuff and moved from here to have dragon candy i want people to know that is art we will explain a walk and they can't walk in and out it is different techniques from stir frying to smoking to steaming and they do show of. >> beer a royalty for the age berry up to now not people know that especially the toughest

they think this is - i really appreciate they love this art. >> from the cantonese to the hypomania and we have hot pots we have all of the cuisines of china in our chinatown you don't have to go far. >> small business is important to our neighborhood because if we really make a lot of people lives better more people get a job here not just a big firm. >> you don't have to go anywhere else we have pocketed of great neighborhoods haul have all have their own uniqueness. >> san francisco has to all >> my background is in engineering. i am a civil engineer by

training. my career has really been around government service. when the opportunity came up to serve the city of san francisco, that was just an opportunity i really needed to explore. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] i think it was in junior high and really started to do well in math but i faced some really interesting challenges. many young ladies were not in math and i was the only one in some of these classes. it was tough, it was difficult to succeed when a teacher didn't have confidence in you, but i was determined and i realized that engineering really is what i was interested in. as i moved into college and took

engineering, preengineering classes, once again i hit some of those same stereotypes that women are not in this field. that just challenged me more. because i was enjoying it, i was determined to be successful. now i took that drive that i have and a couple it with public service. often we are the unsung heroes of technology in the city whether it is delivering network services internally, or for our broadband services to low income housing. >> free wi-fi for all of the residents here so that folks have access to do job searches, housing searches, or anything else that anyone else could do in our great city. >> we are putting the plant in the ground to make all of the city services available to our residents. it is difficult work, but it is also very exciting and rewarding

our team is exceptional. they are very talented engineers and analysts who work to deliver the data and the services and the technology every day. >> i love working with linda because she is fun. you can tell her anything under the sun and she will listen and give you solutions or advice. she is very generous and thoughtful and remembers all the special days that you are celebrating. >> i have seen recent employee safety and cyber security. it is always a top priority. i am always feeling proud working with her. >> what is interesting about my work and my family is my experience is not unique, but it is different. i am a single parent. so having a career that is demanding and also having a child to raise has been a challenge. i think for parents that are

working and trying to balance a career that takes a lot of time, we may have some interruptions. if there is an emergency or that sort of thing then you have to be able to still take care of your family and then also do your service to your job. that is probably my take away and a lot of lessons learned. a lot of parents have the concern of how to do the balance i like to think i did a good job for me, watching my son go through school and now enter the job market, and he is in the medical field and starting his career, he was always an intern. one of the things that we try to do here and one of my takeaways from raising him is how important internships are. and here in the department of technology, we pride ourselves on our interns. we have 20 to 25 each year. they do a terrific job contributing to our outside plant five or work or our network engineering or our

finance team. this last time they took to programming our reception robot, pepper, and they added videos to it and all of these sort of things. it was fun to see their creativity and their innovation come out. >> amazing. >> intriguing. >> the way i unwind is with my photography and taking pictures around the city. when i drive around california, i enjoy taking a lot of landscapes. the weather here changes very often, so you get a beautiful sunset or you get a big bunch of clouds. especially along the waterfront. it is spectacular. i just took some photos of big server and had a wonderful time, not only with the water photos,

but also the rocks and the bushes and the landscapes. they are phenomenal. [♪♪♪] my advice to young ladies and women who would like to move into stem fields is to really look at why you are there. if you are -- if you are a problem solver, if you like to analyse information, if you like to discover new things, if you like to come up with alternatives and invent new practice, it is such a fabulous opportunity. whether it is computer science or engineering or biology or medicine, oh, my goodness, there are so many opportunities. if you have that kind of mindset i have enjoyed working in san francisco so much because of the diversity. the diversity of the people, of this city, of the values, of the talent that is here in the city. it is stimulating and motivating

and inspiring and i cannot imagine working anywhere else but in sannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
