From being a volunteer teacher in Ecuador to working in the Education Research Lab at UCI, all throughout her career, Emily has worked in education. Working at the Comic-Con museum was the perfect way for her to blend her experience of working with children, with her experience of building things, and her experience of centering stories through media.Through her work at the Comic-Con museum, Emily aims to close the gap between the literacy that people use daily and the way literacy is defined in education. Comic-Con is a literacy community, focusing on reading, writing, speaking, and many other critical communication skills.

Plus, the Comic-Con Museum has a new exhibit on display.

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson explores the vibrant city of San Diego with a group of fascinating locals. First, Johnson speaks with Chris Ryall, Comic-Con Museum consultant and executive producer of Netflix's Locke & Key. From niche subculture to global phenomenon, Ryall shares just how far Comic-Con has come since its humble beginnings as a 300-person gathering at a San Diego hotel. The lifelong comic book collector and creator geeks out with Johnson while sharing his insights into the museum's incredible exhibits on Spiderman, Gene Roddenberry, Pac-Man, and more. Next up, Maya Madsen, owner of Black-owned vegan cookie shop Maya's Cookies, takes the California Questionnaire.

Cal Fire officials describe what they're facing in fire-prone areas of San Diego county and what you should know to stay safe. Next, San Diego city planners want to rename and restructure the plan to pack more housing into areas of the city near transit. But the change from “transit priority area” to “sustainable development area” could be more than just fiddling with terminology. And writer Caroline Hatano brings us an ode to the Japanese American community that once farmed all over Southern California. Finally, The Comic-Con Museum in Balboa Park recently opened “Hemingway in Comics.” It's an exhibit that explores what it means to be an icon and how that image can change over time.

The Supreme Court published two major decisions Thursday. In a 5-4 opinion, the court ruled the Biden Administration has the right to end the Trump-era ‘Remain in Mexico' policy.

The county is proposing to provide on-site homeless resources including behavioral health services and public benefits assistance to any city in the region that builds new shelters. Then, despite upgrades to the state's power grid, California energy officials say there's a potential for energy shortfalls that could lead to power outages this summer. Next, Assembly District 80 is up for grabs on June 7, not just once, but twice. The two-for-one special election runoff and standard primary election features redrawn district lines and four candidates looking to represent San Diego's South Bay. And, of all the candidates running for office during primaries and general elections, voters often know the least about the judicial candidates. The San Diego County Bar Association offers a bit more solid information on the judicial candidates. Then, San Diego County is now seeking to overturn a verdict or get a new trial after the family of a man who died after a 2015 arrest in Santee was awarded $85 million by a jury. Finally, a new Comic-Con Museum exhibit celebrates the late artist and former San Diego resident Dave Stevens who is best known for creating “The Rocketeer,” a comic book that became a movie in 1991.

California Governor Gavin Newsom wants to create "Care Courts" that would have the power to compel people with debilitating psychosis into longer-term mental health treatment. Meanwhile, a new study shows San Diego's existing climate action measure won't put the city on track to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2035. Plus, this weekend the Will Eisner Week panels open at the Comic-Con Museum.

RODDENBERRY ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES #TALKTREK, A CAMPAIGN WITHIN YEARLONG #THINKTREK CELEBRATION HONORING STAR TREK VISIONARY GENE RODDENBERRY'S CENTENNIAL YEAR Bill Nye, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Alison Pill, Santiago Cabrera and Many More Partner With Roddenberry Entertainment to Recite 100 of Gene Roddenberry's Inspirational & Insightful Quotes in Honor of Late Creator's 100th Birthday, August 19, 2021 As part of the yearlong #thinkTREK campaign, honoring Star Trek creator and visionary Gene Roddenberry, over sixty notable celebrities, creatives, and scientific leaders have collaborated with Roddenberry Entertainment to share 100 of Mr. Roddenberry's most impactful quotes over the course of the 100 days leading up to his 100th birthday on August 19, 2021. As part of the sub-campaign dubbed #talkTREK, the videos will post daily across Roddenberry Entertainment's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, beginning on May 12. Accompanying the video quotes, is a 100 episode, limited series, daily podcast called "Quoting Gene Roddenberry" hosted by famed blogger Trent Vanegas (Pink is the New Blog) and actress Rachel True (The Craft). Each short-form episode begins with an audio reading of the day's quote from the video campaign, followed by a lively discussion between our hosts and that week's guest host. The conversations are invigorating deep dives into the meaning, history, ethos and impact of Gene Roddenberry's words. Currently, guest hosts include actor Ming Chen, actress Mary Chieffo, Oscar nominated screenwriter Josh Olson and more. During the same 100 days as our videos, and coordinated to match the video quotes released, Amazon's Alexa will be able to respond to the prompt "Alexa, play the Rodenberry daily quote?" - providing that day's quote through the Alexa voice app. "My father, Gene Roddenberry, was an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision for the world - one of unconditional love, diversity, and unity of all people - and that vision is shown through not only Star Trek, but through the words he spoke in his lectures, his interviews and his writings. To have members of the Star Trek franchise and celebrity fans bring those words back to life is a very exciting way to celebrate a momentous year in his history," says Rod Roddenberry. Noteworthy participants in the #talkTREK campaign include Bill Nye, LeVar Burton (Star Trek: TNG), George Takei (Star Trek: TOS), Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard), Santiago Cabrera (Star Trek: Picard), Michelle Forbes (Star Trek: TNG), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: Picard), Jerry O'Connell (Star Trek: Lower Decks), Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Comic Book Men), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas, Nixon), Brenda Strong (Star Trek: TNG, Desperate Housewives), and many more. #talkTREK is one component of a yearlong, multi-faceted celebration of Roddenberry's creative genius and his contributions to culture and the humanities. In an effort to promote Roddenberry's ethos of kindness, inclusivity, and always working to better yourself, Roddenberry Entertainment and Star Trek fan communities are encouraging everyone to #thinkTREK: to see and act on Star Trek's philosophies in our own personal relationships, in daily life, and in the world. The #thinkTREK campaign initiatives include not only #talkTREK but also #seeTREK, #beTREK, and #makeTREK, each playing out online and across social media. Thousands of Star Trek fans have engaged with the #seeTREK and #beTREK campaigns by submitting examples of where they see Star Trek out in the world (like in a pie presented to look like the Starship Enterprise), and of real-life people and stories who represent being Star Trek, which means reflecting the values embraced by the series, like an astronaut who achieved his dreams after starting out in life as a farmworker. In #buildTREK, master builder Samuel Hatmaker is designing and building a series of four iconic moments from the series out of toy bricks, the first of which was Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura's Kiss, which was shared by Collider. For more information on Roddenberry Entertainment and their centennial celebrations, please visit Roddenberry.com/thinktrek, or follow their social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Also this year, The Roddenberry Foundation has donated $100,000 to the Comic-Con Museum to support renovation and programming plans, recognizing the Museum's efforts to highlight inclusivity, innovation, and creativity while honoring Gene Roddenberry's legacy.

Thousands of Star Trek fans have engaged with the #seeTREK and #beTREK campaigns by submitting examples of where they see Star Trek out in the world (like in a pie presented to look like the Starship Enterprise), and of real-life people and stories who represent being Star Trek, which means reflecting the values embraced by the series, like an astronaut who achieved his dreams after starting out in life as a farmworker. In #buildTREK, master builder Samuel Hatmaker is designing and building a series of four iconic moments from the series out of toy bricks, the first of which was Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura's Kiss, which was shared by Collider. For more information on Roddenberry Entertainment and their centennial celebrations, please visit Roddenberry.com/thinktrek, or follow their social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Also this year, The Roddenberry Foundation has donated $100,000 to the Comic-Con Museum to support renovation and programming plans, recognizing the Museum's efforts to highlight inclusivity, innovation, and creativity while honoring Gene Roddenberry's legacy.

RODDENBERRY ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES #TALKTREK, A CAMPAIGN WITHIN YEARLONG #THINKTREK CELEBRATION HONORING STAR TREK VISIONARY GENE RODDENBERRY'S CENTENNIAL YEAR Bill Nye, LeVar Burton, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Alison Pill, Santiago Cabrera and Many More Partner With Roddenberry Entertainment to Recite 100 of Gene Roddenberry's Inspirational & Insightful Quotes in Honor of Late Creator's 100th Birthday, August 19, 2021 As part of the yearlong #thinkTREK campaign, honoring Star Trek creator and visionary Gene Roddenberry, over sixty notable celebrities, creatives, and scientific leaders have collaborated with Roddenberry Entertainment to share 100 of Mr. Roddenberry's most impactful quotes over the course of the 100 days leading up to his 100th birthday on August 19, 2021. As part of the sub-campaign dubbed #talkTREK, the videos will post daily across Roddenberry Entertainment's social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, beginning on May 12. Accompanying the video quotes, is a 100 episode, limited series, daily podcast called "Quoting Gene Roddenberry" hosted by famed blogger Trent Vanegas (Pink is the New Blog) and actress Rachel True (The Craft). Each short-form episode begins with an audio reading of the day's quote from the video campaign, followed by a lively discussion between our hosts and that week's guest host. The conversations are invigorating deep dives into the meaning, history, ethos and impact of Gene Roddenberry's words. Currently, guest hosts include actor Ming Chen, actress Mary Chieffo, Oscar nominated screenwriter Josh Olson and more. During the same 100 days as our videos, and coordinated to match the video quotes released, Amazon's Alexa will be able to respond to the prompt "Alexa, play the Rodenberry daily quote?" - providing that day's quote through the Alexa voice app. "My father, Gene Roddenberry, was an ordinary man with an extraordinary vision for the world - one of unconditional love, diversity, and unity of all people - and that vision is shown through not only Star Trek, but through the words he spoke in his lectures, his interviews and his writings. To have members of the Star Trek franchise and celebrity fans bring those words back to life is a very exciting way to celebrate a momentous year in his history," says Rod Roddenberry. Noteworthy participants in the #talkTREK campaign include Bill Nye, LeVar Burton (Star Trek: TNG), George Takei (Star Trek: TOS), Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Discovery), Alison Pill (Star Trek: Picard), Santiago Cabrera (Star Trek: Picard), Michelle Forbes (Star Trek: TNG), Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: TNG, Star Trek: Picard), Jerry O'Connell (Star Trek: Lower Decks), Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, Comic Book Men), Paul Sorvino (Goodfellas, Nixon), Brenda Strong (Star Trek: TNG, Desperate Housewives), and many more. #talkTREK is one component of a yearlong, multi-faceted celebration of Roddenberry's creative genius and his contributions to culture and the humanities. In an effort to promote Roddenberry's ethos of kindness, inclusivity, and always working to better yourself, Roddenberry Entertainment and Star Trek fan communities are encouraging everyone to #thinkTREK: to see and act on Star Trek's philosophies in our own personal relationships, in daily life, and in the world.

The eagerly anticipated Comic-Con Museum - the permanent exhibition space to be presented by Comic-Con International, and setting up shop at the previously title Hall Of Champions in Balboa Park in San Diego - had it's big reveal to Comic-Con attendees this year, with many banners in place of where fans would usually see GAME OF THRONES house sigils hanging from the ceiling, a booth on the Exhibition Floor throughout this years convention and a full panel, unveiling the ambitious plans of the Museum team. It was this panel which took a number of people by surprise, not only for those left stood standing outside Room 29ABC on the Sunday (a line of thirty-odd people, which even prompted CCI Director Of Programming Eddie Ibrahim to come and see what all the fuss was about), but also for those that managed to get in: many were galvanised by what Museum Director Adam Smith, Director of Programming Keegan Chetwynd and Founder Member Melissa Peterman were proposing, most raised eyebrows at how much hard work - and funds! - was still required to get the project underway, and all were a little deflated by the estimated timetable of getting the doors open. The message was clear: to get this project right, these things take time. Directly following the panel, I managed to sneak Adam away into a side room to talk a little further about where the project currently stood, about how momentum might be continued with interim 'virtual content', and about how to properly present the project to baying fans without spoiling the surprise, once those doors eventually open. Enjoy. Image Credit: @carolkimSD / Twitter

Albert was lucky enough to have been able to go to the San Diego Comic-Con for his 25th year of attending it. Along with the photos he's been sharing of the event in his Instagram feed, he has also been recording audio interviews about Comic-Con. He also asked his question for the event, which is... "if you had the Infinity Gauntlet, what is the first thing you would do with it?"
