I could make lots of jokes about this, but in reality, I think this is really cool. @GoStanford @StanfordFball take notes.

Chancellor Lyons,
You have done a fantastic job. Honorary 6th Dan Taekwondo Black Belt by World Taekwondo Headquarters! It was my great honor to witness your service and dedication to Cal.

Very common in Texas. Most do not know. I have a sweatshirt with CAL in small block letters. A friend once asked if that was my nickname 🤷🏻♀️
I’m still stunned by how many people across the country and world who do not know that Cal and UC Berkeley are the same institution. When you have opportunities to help close that gap, please take them. Thanks. @UCBerkeley @Cal

I was interviewed recently for a CBS feature piece on GeoGuessr. In case you haven’t seen it, check it out - it’s super well done!
.@geoguessr is a geography game in which players have to guess a location from a @googlemaps street view image. It can be anywhere on the planet and some players can figure it out in less than a second. @NancyChenNews met up with some of the top players.

"If not for Berkeley..." Berkeley Chancellor @richlyons posts some of the world-changing discoveries from our campus like CRISPR therapies. Also if not for Berkeley: plutonium. The cyclotron. OpenADR. Lasers. The Free Speech movement.
If not for @UCBerkeley: CRISPR therapies (Professor Jennifer Doudna’s work). engineering.berkeley.edu/new…

Thanks, @richlyons for the nod! #BerkeleyChangemaker actually has a course that's dedicated to the very topic of building your side hustle, taught by @GorickNg & Shuo Chen | Redefining Success: The Unspoken Rules of Building an Entrepreneurial Career.
Ask people if they are entrepreneurs and too few will say yes. Ask them if they have a side-hustle, and most will say yes. Welcome to thinking more entrepreneurially. @UCBerkeley @UCBChangemaker
