UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2009–10 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT 2009–10 1 Chancellor Fox Awarded the NATIONAL MEDAL OF SCIENCE UC SAN DIEGO CHANCELLOR MARYE ANNE FOX received the National Medal of Science in 2010, the highest honor bestowed by the United States government on scientists, engineers, and inventors. A nationally recognized organic chemist and academic leader, Fox has been elected to membership in the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, and to fellowships in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Association for the Advance- ment of Science. She has also received honorary degrees from twelve U.S. institutions. Her research has focused on fundamental principles that were later translated into practical use in solar energy conversion, environmental remediation, and materials science. Fox is the most recent member of the UC San Diego community to receive this prestigious award. Previous living National Medal of Science recipients from UC San Diego are E. Margaret Burbidge, astrophysics (1983); Walter Munk, geophysics (1983); Michael H. Freedman, mathematics (1987); Yuan-Cheng Fung, bioen- gineering (2000); Andrew Viterbi, electrical and computer engineering (2008); and Craig Venter, pharmacology (2009). Clockwise from top: Chancellor Marye Anne Fox; Fox receives the medal from President Barack Obama at the White House, November 17, 2010; an inspirational note Fox wrote as a young girl “I always thought I would be a scientist. Once you’ve understood something that didn’t exist before, it’s almost like you have to figure out what the answer to the next question is, and generate the next question after that. -

University of California San Diego Department of Radiation Medicine and Applied Sciences: Department Overview 2 University of California San Diego University of California System The University of California (UC) http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu was chartered in 1868. As a whole, the UC is one of the largest Universities in the world consisting of over 7,000 faculty members, 160,000 students and employs approximately 121,000 faculty, staff and academics statewide. The UC system is currently comprised of 10 separate campuses: Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Merced, Riverside, San Diego, San Francisco, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz. In 2011, there were over 76,000 student applications. UC is affiliated with the Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories and the Los Alamos Facility. Each campus boasts a unique environment, and a variety of achievements, honors and academic disciplines. There are 5 medical centers in the UC system: Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. A medical center in Riverside is under development. The 5 UC Medical Centers support the clinical teaching programs of the medical and health sciences schools and receive more than 138,000 inpatient discharges, 261,000 emergency room visits and more than 3.6 million outpatient visits per year. Collectively, these centers comprise the largest health care system in California. University of California San Diego (UCSD) UC San Diego http://www.ucsd.edu/ occupies 1200 acres along the Pacific coast in La Jolla, California. One of the premiere campuses of the UC system, UC San Diego is also one of the youngest (founded in 1960). The first graduate student was admitted in 1960 and the first undergraduate in 1964. -

Yancy, MD, Vice Dean for Diversity and Inclusion Chief of Cardiology in the Department of Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago Clyde W. Yancy, MD: “I’m exhausted by the stress; disheartened by the toll on human life; concerned deeply about the exposure to healthcare workers- BUT, I am emboldened by the display of courage, selflessness, compassion, and sacrifice that I see in physicians, nurses and health care workers across the country.” “It is not a case of ‘don’t confuse me with the facts’, but the best clinical insights exceed so called knowledge by at least one step.” History, precedents, similarities, virus structure and invasion, pathology, physiology, lethality vs safety in perspective, China, geography, EU vs USA comparison, time-line, media, politics, pandemic modelling, symptoms, lockdown, economics, joblessness, vascular-platelet-glycocalyx clotting, testing, ventilators, medications, vaccines, supplements, diet: This 2019 corona virus CoV2-19 is an entirely new RNA virus with 30 proteins. Corona viruses have the largest known viral genome. The RNA of a corona virus is single-stranded. The word 1 “VIRUS” means “poison.” A human cell has 20,000 different proteins. Being an RNA virus, it is similar to hepatitis C; it is not a DNA virus like hepatitis B. There are 200 viruses that can cause the common cold and several of these are corona viruses. “Corona” is Latin for “crown” which is how the virus looks in the microscope as if it has an encircling crown. -

Here we show that concomitant loss of Tet2 and Tet3 in mice at early B cell stage blocked the pro- to pre-B cell transition in the bone marrow, decreased Irf4 expression and impaired the germline transcription and rearrangement of the Igk locus. Tet2/3-deficient pro-B cells showed increased CpG methylation at the Igk 3’ and distal enhancers that was mimicked by depletion of E2A or PU.1, as well as a global decrease in chromatin accessibility at enhancers.
