UC Berkeley WarnMe Community Advisory:

Update RE: Panoramic Fire - There are still no current impacts to campus property or operations. No campus evacuations are currently needed. Please avoid the area of Panoramic Hill if possible.

UC Berkeley WarnMe Community Advisory:

Fire activity in the Oakland Hills above campus. The fire is not currently impacting campus property or operations. We do not currently have any information that would indicate that any campus evacuations are necessary.

UC Berkeley’s Space Sciences Laboratory (@ucbssl) is one of only two university-based centers in the U.S. capable of managing the full life cycle of a satellite mission.

Watch how SSL leads @NASA missions like ESCAPADE — the first dual-satellite mission to another planet, headed to Mars.

UC Berkeley researchers found that just 10 minutes of relying on an AI tool to solve math and reasoning problems significantly affected people's ability to focus and persist with difficult tasks — highlighting the importance of designing AI tools that build on human abilities rather than replace them.

A new UC Berkeley study finds that while female human characters have made gains, nonhuman creatures have yet to catch up. By highlighting these gaps, the research can help guide more inclusive character representation in the stories children grow up watching.
