The long weekend is only a week away. I need it now. This week the meetings seem to go forever. Did you know that if we lived on Venus, the day' would be equivalent to almost 117 Earth days? Earth clearly has its advantages.
Our program reach continues to expand. We remain a long way from having participation that reflects the population of California, but we are making progress.
New case numbers in California remain more than 10-fold higher than they were at this time last year. I hope the numbers continue to decline, and we don't see an upward trend such as Oregon is observing at the moment.
The first half of each week seems to go by slowly, then all of a sudden we are at the end of another week. I don't know how or why that happens! Perhaps I am alone in experiencing this. UC ANR has had some nice call outs in the press.
After a long year there's hope that accountability happens. The week started with a meeting to discuss the new DEI Advisory Council Charter. I am excited about the possibilities that the Council brings to conversations and action.
