Meet Christine: 49ers cheerleader and biomedical engineer

Two weeks and two interviews with San Francisco 49ers Gold Rush cheerleaders who are both smarter and have better abs than me. If I don’t get to work, I may lose the “John O-Ab” moniker that I have secretly given to myself and not revealed in a public forum until now. Christine’s story is pretty awesome. [...]

Gov 2.0 Expo: You’ve Been Scienced!
