HE IS THE LINCOLN BASKETBALL COACH WHO STARTED THE COMMITTEE FOR HIM.

MORGAN PREFERRED TO ONLY GIVE THE FIRST NAME AS SHE SHARED PERSONAL MEMORIES AND HER EXPERIENCE LIKE THE FIRST DAY OF MEDICAL SCHOOL AT HOME.

>> EDUCATION WAS SOME PEOPLE SAY DISRUPTIVE.

WE VALUE ALL OF THE CLINICAL WORK WE HAD SO MUCH.

LIKE WORKING WITH THE FREE CLINIC AND GETTING TO SEE A PATIENT AND DO A PHYSICAL PICK WOULD MIX YOU APPRECIATE OPPORTUNITIES WE HAVE.

NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT.

>> DESPITE THE CHALLENGE, SECOND YEAR STUDENTS AFTER SPENDING THE FIRST CRITICAL YEAR OF MEDICAL SCHOOL WITH DISTANCE LEARNING.

JUST HEALTH EQUITY.

>> IN FACT THE RACIAL DIVIDE TRIGGERED IN 2020 INSPIRED THE CREATION OF A NEW ENHANCED HEALTH EQUITY CURRICULUM AT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, ENGAGING STUDENTS IN HOW TO TREAT PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BELIEFS AND BACKWARDS.

240 HOURS OF DRIVING.

ON TOP OF THE, YOU NEED TO HAVE A TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH SAFETY SYSTEMS.

THE DRIVERS WILL BE TRAINED PROPERLY BEFORE STEPPING FOOT INSIDE OF THESE TRUCKS.

>> BEING ABLE TO GO IN AND ATTRACT THE NEW POOL AND HAVE THE CONDITIONAL PIPELINE OF DRIVERS BEING ABLE TO COME TO THE SYSTEM WOULD BE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL RIGHT NOW TO THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY.

THE SUPPLY CHAIN AND THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE.

STRUCK THE BICYCLE OR GUITAR IS ON YOUR HOLIDAY GIFT LIST YOU MIGHT WANT TO START SHOPPING NOW.

STORES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARE REPORTING SHORTAGES AND THEY ARE NOT SURE IF ITEMS WILL ARRIVE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS.

CHULA VISTA 78, UPPER 90s OR LOWER 90s I SHOULD SAY.

MORE ACTIVITY IN THE NORTHWEST, THAT'S NOT IMPACTING US BUT WE WILL HAVE THE ONSHORE FLOW STARTING TO RETURN WITH SOME OF THOSE CHANGES IT WITH THE TEMPERATURES TRENDING DOWNWARD AT THE COAST AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY WITH CLOUDS AT THERE.

THAT IS GOING TO BE MORE OF A MARINE LAYER OF CLOUDS FOR SUNDAY WITH MORNING CLOUDS TO START UP WITHIN THE INCREASE IN CLOSET MORE SUNSHINE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

THE SPECIES ALMOST WENT EXTINCT 30 YEARS AGO THE GENOMES OF THE MOTHERS AND OFFSPRING ARE THE SAME CONFIRMING DEFINING.

>> HAPPENED TWICE.

WHEN THE POPULATION WAS SMALL.

WILL IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN THE POPULATION GETS BIGGER?

I THINK THAT IS IT AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

>> Reporter: THESE ARE THE FIRST KNOWN CASES OF REPRODUCTION WITHOUT FERTILIZATION IN CALIFORNIA CONDORS.

IT IS THE FIRST TIME GENETIC TESTING CONFIRMED THE PHENOMENON.

IT'S ALSO UNIQUE BECAUSE THERE WERE FERTILE MALES PRESENT AT THE ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION HAPPENING ANYWAY.

>> KNOWING THIS IS ANOTHER THING, TWO INDIVIDUALS FROM TWO SEPARATE FAMILIES SO THEY WERE ABLE TO GENERATE.

WE WOULD NOT THINK THIS IS AS UNCOMMON AS WE THOUGHT BEFORE.
