i worked at galileo hospital with the latino community i work really closely with specifically undocumented students and families. that is my passion and asian american community here in san francisco because i feel they are not represented. they are stereotyped. the community i was working with in san francisco in the community they have access to no resources. that is the experience i bring and also a teach now. i left in august to teach. i teach at the right institute in berkeley and san francisco state university as adjunct. my goal to switch jobs is i want to work with the students so that i cannot only everyday in my class multi- culturalism and social justice and advocacy is the key that's what i bring today because they are going to be our future counselors. i'm going to keep it short and sweet. i know my time is almost up. i advocate and i'm also very passionate as you can tell, but i have also worked with the national association and i have advocated to reduce stigma. stigma is huge and shame. and i have worked with a lot of organizations to provide information. i was also one of

i worked at galileo hospital

one former teacher who was voted most popular teacher at galileo and lowell high school is now living in minnesota because he could not face a place to live after facing eviction in the home he had been in over 30 years. in past three weeks i have been to five or six events in my neighborhood in the mission about housing specifically. with groups like justice and others had a forum that was started by the faculty and parents the buena vista horace man school and that meeting that filled the auditorium with a number of teachers, paraprofessionals and parents, there was a commonality, a common concern about whether any of you could stay in the city that we teach and live in and in which we want to grow our children in the classroom and at home and work together for their future? there is joint responsibility for teachers and parents and our students to thrive in this town. and it's a pre-cursor to the education of this city of ours, san francisco, that educators can afford to live in this city. we're now involved in how many months' of contract negotiations? in a year, in which the dist

like galileo... to discover moons, gali. into your jammies, please.you expect ideas to fall from the sky? that might stop the course of discovery! with his father's cooking equipment. arthur: watch this! arthur: wow! binky: that's nothing.

then almost immediately galileo takes the telescope to revolutionize astronomy.s about 70 years for the telescope to change the world and for the first time he sees these little boxes with the sole structure of life as we know it to think of society became that of the ability to see the small and the distant. partial abetting people publish scientific papers but in this lateral move the people make glasses and telescopes but it is that kind of movement through history that runs throughout the entire book their playful storiessr but it shows a profound truth how societies change but on some level you can point to the individual and a genius for innovation and that set out to solve a problem but also to say their ideas have a  that lead to things that the creators can never dream of if you don't tell that part of the story you're not true to what happened with the basic question of "how we got to know" the other thing i find interesting looking at the history of ideas with the march of progress we tend to celebrate the victors this technology and it is fantastic b

i know you said galileo. and that's an easy one. but george is the founder of the big bang theory. he's a belgian priest. he just recently receiveded a medal. a vatican astronomer, holder of themeteorite. >> if that's in part because of the organization that institutes the catholic church. and the the relatively more democratic with a "d" version of particularly american conservative religious thought. sat on a stage. that seems not incompatible. and then it does begin to feel like that. >> in since we evaluate claims. so if someone claims the earth is 6,000 years old, there is nothing to support that idea. and so my concern, as i may have mentioned many times is young people. you don't want to raise a generation of science students that doesn't understand the idea of evolution. natural selection, sexual selection, analogy, all these fabulous things. so that's where it crosses the line for me. they have a big curriculum. they have dvds. they have quizzeses that look just like science. and so, it's this abandoning your critical thinking skills. abandoning your ability to reason that

stephen makes a point of the fact that he was born on the 8th of january, 300 days -- 300 years after galileoally born on the 6th of january so we're both capricorns. [ laughter ] and i was like --. he looked at me, and there was this sort of horrific sort of few minutes as he typed something out and then, in his iconic voice he said -- i'm an astronomer, not an astrologer. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: that's fantastic. well, i like to show everyone a a clip. this is -- you're not too far along with the disease in this clip. but you're -- it's -- you got to see it. so it's you, and you just got told that you got your doctorate. >> all right. >> jimmy: so this one here is eddie redmayne in "the theory of everything." >> you've got enough of that, old man. come on, got to -- one, two -- three. [ groans ] >> my god, how does jane manage? >> stephen, your motor mouth disease does it effect -- uh, everything. >> well, no. just like this stuff. automatic. >> are you serious? well that's pretty wonderful, isn't it? why, that certainly explain as lot about men. [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy

almost immediately galileo takes a telescope and sees jupiter and revolutionizes this along with theologytakes about 70 years to really change the world when robert houck analyzes this and in analyzing this he sees little boxes which he decides to call cells. it's the first time that the cell structure of life as we know it is named and seen for the first time. when we think of all the changes in society that came out and the ability to see the small things in a very big things after that. in a funny way he unleashed the scientific revolution by letting people share and he had almost as big an effect in his lateral move which made people say they knew lenses, so they could see the world for the first time. it's that kind of movement to history that runs throughout the entire book and what i like about it is that there are fun and playful stories on some level and they show a profound truth about how society change. on some level you can point to the individual and you can point to the geniuses were the hubs of innovation who were deliberately setting out to solve a problem and you also ha
