 University of California, Berkeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of California, Berkeley (also known as Cal, UC Berkeley, The University of California, or simply Berkeley) is a public coeducational university situated east of the San Francisco Bay in Berkeley, California, overlooking the Golden Gate.
Founded in 1868, Berkeley enjoyed a golden age in the physical, chemical, and biological sciences in the early 1900s, leading to the development of the first cyclotron by Ernest O. Lawrence, the isolation of the human polio virus, and the discovery of numerous elements, including Plutonium, Berkelium, and Californium.
Berkeley has graduated more students who go on to earn doctorates than any other university in the United States, and its enrollment of National Merit Scholars was third in the nation prior to 2002, when participation in the National Merit program was discontinued.

Berkeley - Most scientists believe that when smog ozone is taken up by the forests of the Sierra Nevada, it is mostly absorbed by trees and plants.
But new research at the University of California, Berkeley, suggests a large proportion of the ozone is actually transformed by chemical reactions in the air with compounds emitted by the forest.
Over the course of a year, the UC Berkeley researchers determined the amount of ozone lost in a ponderosa pine plantation in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, about 50 miles from Sacramento.

 UC Berkeley - About UC Berkeley - History
While the College of California was in its infancy, efforts continued in the state legislature to create a public educational institution, and in 1866 the legislature took advantage of the federal Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 to establish the Agricultural, Mining, and Mechanical Arts College.
The college was to teach agricultural, mechanical arts, and military tactics "to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life." Scientific and classical studies were not to be excluded but were of secondary importance.
In the 1930s research on campus burgeoned in nuclear physics, chemistry, and biology, leading to the development of the first cyclotron by Ernest O. Lawrence, the isolation of the human polio virus, and the discovery of a string of elements heavier than uranium.

 11.24.98 - NIH grants $1 million to UC Berkeley's College of Chemistry for renovation of biomedical facilities, ...
BERKELEY -- The University of California, Berkeley, has received a $1 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for renovating laboratories in the College of Chemistry that are used for biomedical research.
The award-winning project calls attention to the central role of organic synthesis and combinatorial chemistry as the foundation for medicinal chemistry and the discovery of new pharmaceuticals.
Despite its top ranking, the Department of Chemistry has been limited in the scope of the research it has been able to perform and the number of students and postdocs it can train in biomedical research because of obsolete research facilities.

 Biotech @ 25: UC Scientists - Calvin
In the fall of 1945, Ernest O. Lawrence, Director of the Radiation Laboratory at Berkeley, suggested to Calvin that "now is the time to do something useful with radioactive carbon," the isotope which had been discovered in 1940 in the 60 inch cyclotron at Berkeley.
Chemistry, Calvin’s discipline, stands between physics and biology, utilizing the principles of physical science to solve basic problems in biology.
Calvin’s interdisciplinary group applied the techniques of many scientific areas to the solution of problems in biochemistry and molecular biology, in particular elucidation of the path of carbon in photosynthesis for which Calvin was awarded the Nobel Prize.

Transfer student Luis Chacon spent three years at a community college taking more than 14 science and math classes on top of general education requirements, but after after arriving at UC Berkeley, he found out he still had two years to go before earning is degree.
But a new proposal being reviewed by UC could ease the cumbersome process of transferring as a science student, by allowing students studying in the sciences to waive some of their general education requirements before transferring to UC.
With UC urging students to declare their majors almost immediately after stepping foot on campus, students in the hard sciences are often forced to spend more than two years at a community college to prepare themselves for science, math and engineering majors at UC.

 Proposal to route IPX at UCB 6/94
The construction of the current UC Berkeley campus network began in 1984 and is still underway.
These departments are either very large, (e.g., College of Chemistry), dispersed across campus, (e.g., WSSG Workstation and Microcomputer Facilities), or both, (e.g., the Library.) In these situations, use of NetWare services ranges from the occasional need to reach a remote server for administration or monitoring to complete sharing of software applications.
While it is clear that departments require the integration of NetWare services with the campus backbone, the UC Berkeley campus network does not exist in isolation.

As usual, Berkeley is in the fore of this leading-edge discipline with a nanotech research initiative, the start of a nano “minor” for Ph.Ds and a new student-run nanotechnology club.
The Berkeley Nanotech club began six months ago when a Haas M.B.A. student, doing an independent study on nanotech, sent out a mass e-mail soliciting interest in a nanotech club.
The nanotech club is not just an excellent student resource on the Berkeley nanotechnology community, but will help promote the new nano “minor,” offer advice on classes, give students access to nano faculty and help create a vision of the future of nanotechnology.
