San Diego performs.
Three of the seven Breakthrough Prize awards (each of $3 million; founded in 2012 by tech entrepreneurs including Sergey Brin, the Google co-founder; Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook co-founder; and Anne Wojcicki, co-founder of personal genomics company 23 and Me) for 2018 went to San Diego scientists in recognition of their research and achievements in life science, bio-medicine, and math. The prize for achievement in math is shared equally between UCSD and the University of Utah collaborators.
It is a short distance from downtown San Diego walk-ability and luxury, such as the Kohn-Pedersen-Fox-designed Pacific Gate, with interior design by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), not only to the airport but also to the universities and research institutes.
