SF Climate Week kicks off across the Bay Area tomorrow. A handful of the nearly 650 events will offer Rausser College students, faculty, and alumni the chance to share their expertise—one climate solution, lecture, or cup of chai at a time. https://t.co/7FnaFFq5zb

Congratulations to David Zilberman (@zilbo), a professor of the graduate school in @AreBerkeley, on being elected a 2025 AAAS Fellow. He is among the latest cohort of 11 @UCBerkeley faculty to earn the distinction. Read more about the recognition: https://t.co/1uBIaoNBgM

The human ear can only decipher a fraction of the sounds around us. New technology now gives everyone from musicians to scientists—like Professor Damian Elias, who studies how jumping spiders communicate by drumming on solid surfaces—a chance to listen in. https://t.co/YmXhcuU1aX

The two-day event—presented by J.P. Morgan, UC Berkeley, and The Regent Taipei—offered eight Berkeley deans an opportunity to showcase how UC Berkeley research is steering the future of healthcare. https://t.co/pbkEey2xSE

“Global health starts with clean air, clean water, secure and healthy food, and a stable climate,” Dean David Ackerly told hundreds of academic and industry leaders during February's Healthcare Conference Taipei 2026. Read more about the event: https://t.co/pbkEey2xSE

This new technology could make it easier for researchers to understand aging mechanisms and screen longevity therapeutics without waiting years for results.

In a first-of-its-kind study published today in @natBME, @UCBerkeley researchers detail how they can accelerate the biological age of stem-cell-derived fat and liver tissue by 40 years—all in as little as four days.

WATCH: Dean David Ackerly explains how a century of fire suppression as the leading forest management policy led to a dangerous accumulation of forest fuels, and how experts are now using "good" fire—and other approaches—to rebalance the ecosystem. https://t.co/aADxUC7eY5

[ERGBerkeley @ERGBerkeley]

For a recent Science Advances study, ERG postdoc Johan Eckdahl reconstructed emissions from more than 300 wildfires in Sweden. His results suggest that current climate estimates fail to fully account for carbon released from smoldering organic soils. https://t.co/ekWAiWZsFV

Analysis by @AreBerkeley's Ali Hill and collaborators at @UCANR indicates that California's working landscapes—the farms, ranches, mines, forests, renewable energy installations, and fisheries—generated $404 billion in sales income in 2024. https://t.co/1DngYFz30C

Assistant Professor Alejandra Echeverri and alum Becky Chaplin-Kramer, PhD '10, join a @ucsantabarbara-led team who say Earth science information can do more than quantify the instrumental or monetary value of nature—it can also measure social good. https://t.co/GH1dLKP9eb

ICYMI: Cooperative Extension Professor Kristen Shive and collaborators at @nature_org and the U.S. Forest Service find that wildfires could be leveraged to increase forest resilience to future high-severity fires across the West. Read more about the study: https://t.co/evYRboHLQD

Research from @AreBerkeley Professor Aaron Smith finds that new legislation allowing the use of E15 fuel (gasoline with up to 15% ethanol) is unlikely to provide drivers much relief at the pump. Learn more about his latest @GianniniFnd study: https://t.co/e3BiIRGjdi
