The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, imaged clouds on Saturn’s moon Titan Nov. 4, beginning a study that will help astronomers better understand Titan’s unique atmosphere.

Amidst California’s low standardized math test scores, increasing learning gaps caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a lack of sufficient diversity in STEM, the California State Board of Education’s recent proposed curriculum framework to reform math education has garnered criticism from hundreds of educators. 

The UC system has invested more than $68 million into the Thirty Meter Telescope project as of April 30, according to a financial report from the UC Office of the President.

With the government shutdown of the U.S. Geological Survey, or USGS, Menlo Park office, the UC Berkeley Seismology Laboratory, or BSL, is now responsible for monitoring Northern California seismic activity.

Pachter, who worked with Speed during his time as a campus assistant professor of mathematics, was a confidante of both Speed and the researcher as the events of the report unfolded. He eventually decided to file the Title IX complaint, which alleged that Speed’s behavior created a “hostile environment” for both Pachter and the researcher.

In 2016, Caltech researchers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin proposed evidence for the existence of a new planet, and a search for Planet Nine ensued. In February, campus graduate students Michael Medford and Danny Goldstein introduced a novel search technique.

A recent study found a discrepancy in publication for most STEM programs at UC Berkeley, but found the campus’s College of Chemistry to be a surprising exception to the trend.

VeHICaL — or Verified Human Interfaces, Control, and Learning for Semi-Autonomous Systems — is an interdisciplinary project involving UC Berkeley researchers that seeks to develop new and improved ways of building human cyber-physical systems, like self-driving cars and drones.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a state budget Monday that includes $10 million funding for a statewide earthquake early warning system designed by members of the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.

New research from the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory may save lives and property by providing residents of coastal areas with more than 20 additional minutes to evacuate from dangerous tsunamis.
