    一、關(guān)于加州大學(xué)伯克利分校
    The University of California, Berkeley is one of the world's leading academic institutions. Widely known as "Cal," the campus is renowned for the size and quality of its libraries and laboratories, the scope of its research and publications, and the distinction of its faculty and students. National rankings consistently place Berkeley?s undergraduate and graduate programs among the very best in a variety of disciplines. Our high-acclaimed faculty currently includes: 7 Nobel Laureates, 225 members of the Academy of Arts & Sciences, 131 members of the National Academy of Science, 87 members of the National Academy of Engineering, a Poet Laureate Emeritus of the United States, and 141 Guggenheim Fellows, more than any other university in the country. It was here that two professors discovered plutonium in 1941 as well as numerous other elements, including berkelium and californium. Berkeley faculty are quoted daily in newspapers and journals throughout the world as experts in their fields. But Berkeley is also about extraordinary students! While most of our 22,800 undergraduates are Californians, every state and more than 100 foreign countries are represented on campus.

    二、加州大學(xué)伯克利分校的歷史
    
    1887
    Earth sciences professors set up the Western Hemisphere’s first string of seismographic stations, to systematically record seismic activity and publish these earthquake records.
    1892
    The Sierra Club is co-founded by John Muir; UC Berkeley professors Joseph LeConte, J. Henry Senger and Cornelius Beach Bradley; Stanford University’s David Starr Jordan; artist William Keith; and attorney Warren Olney. Many of the club’s 182 charter members are scientists, and LeConte’s maps of the Sierra range are among its first publications.
    1895
    M.E. Jaffe becomes the first professor of nutrition in the United States. UC Berkeley quickly moves to the top in this field, making important contributions to the emerging understanding of the positive dietary role of vitamins, minerals and protein, and the negative role of cholesterol and fats.
    1930s
    Math professor Jerzy Neyman becomes one of the founders of modern statistical theory, whose applications range from designing the census to assessing the outcome of medical trials. With British statistician Egon Pearson, Neyman develops a method for choosing the most effective test of a hypothesis, and later develops foundational statistical-theory concepts.
    1937
    John Lawrence, Ernest Lawrence’s brother and the director of Berkeley’s Donner Lab, becomes the father of nuclear medicine. In the first use of radioisotopes to control disease, Lawrence treats individuals suffering from polycythemia vera (over-abundance of red blood cells) with doses of radio-pharmaceuticals. Use of iodine to diagnose and treat hyperthyroidism follows.
    1951
    Professor Edward Steinhaus, a pioneer in the field of insect pathology, uses bacteria to attack a caterpillar that infests alfalfa. This is the first successful use of an insect pathogen to control insects in the field. Today these bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis, are used worldwide to fight crop disease; the bacteria secrete a toxin that kills insects, and genetic-engineering companies insert the gene for this toxin into plants, producing crops with a built-in insect resistance.
    1971
    The first biotechnology company, Cetus, is founded by Donald Glaser, winner of the 1960 Nobel Prize in Physics.
    1992
    UC astronomers led by Jerry Nelson co-develop the world’s largest telescope, the W.M. Keck Telescope, atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano on the island of Hawaii. Revolutionary in design, the Keck’s primary mirror is composed of 36 hexagonal segments that join to form a single, honeycombed piece of reflective glass.
    2011
    Neuroscientists led by Jack Gallant are the first to use magnetic resonance imaging to reconstruct from brain waves what a person is seeing, opening the door to possibly watching other people’s dreams or visual memories.
    2013
    A discovery in the lab of Jay Keasling 12 years earlier leads to the first synthetic antimalarial drug on the market, artemisinin, dropping the cost and boosting the availability of the world’s best treatment for malaria.

    1930年代
    數(shù)學(xué)教授杰西內(nèi)曼成為現(xiàn)代統(tǒng)計(jì)理論創(chuàng)始人之一?,F(xiàn)代統(tǒng)計(jì)理論的運(yùn)用涉及從設(shè)計(jì)人口普查到醫(yī)學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果評估在內(nèi)的多個方面。杰西內(nèi)曼和英國統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)家埃貢·皮爾遜一起,發(fā)展了選擇最佳假定測試的方法,并且在后來發(fā)展除了基礎(chǔ)統(tǒng)計(jì)理論的概念。
    1937
    歐內(nèi)斯特·勞倫斯的弟弟兼伯克利分校唐納實(shí)驗(yàn)室主任的約翰勞倫斯成為核醫(yī)學(xué)之父。在首次使用放射性同位素對疾病進(jìn)行控制的過程中,約翰勞倫斯用放射性藥物治療真性紅細(xì)胞增多癥患者。
    1951
    昆蟲病理學(xué)領(lǐng)域先驅(qū)愛德華施泰因豪斯教授使用細(xì)菌攻擊寄生于苜蓿的毛蟲。這是使用昆蟲病原物控制昆蟲的首個成功案例。今天,這些細(xì)菌(蘇云金芽孢桿菌)被廣泛地運(yùn)用于抗擊作物病害。細(xì)菌分泌毒素,殺死昆蟲;基因工程公司則將毒素基因注入植物體內(nèi),讓植物具備內(nèi)在的昆蟲抗藥性。

    CED stands among the nation’s top environmental design schools. It is one of the world’s most distinguished laboratories for experimentation, research, and intellectual synergy. The first school to combine the disciplines of architecture, planning, and landscape architecture into a single college, CED led the way toward an integrated approach to analyzing, understanding, and designing our built environment.
    CED was also among the first to conceptualize environmental design as inseparable from its social, political-economic, and cultural contexts. Its faculty and students have always seen environmental design as an exploratory spatial practice, aimed at creating forms of building, landscape, and urban plans that have yet to be imagined. At the same time, CED has historically emphasized environmental design as a profoundly ethical practice, co-produced through dynamic engagements with diverse communities, workers, businesses, and policy-makers.
    5.School of Information
    The School of Information is UC Berkeley’s newest professional school. Located in the center of campus, the I School is a graduate research and education community committed to expanding access to information and to improving its usability, reliability, and credibility while preserving security and privacy. This requires the insights of scholars from diverse fields — information and computer science, design, social sciences, management, law, and policy.
