Today is "Big Give", Berkeley's 24-hour online fundraiser Last year @Berkeley_EECS graduated 1,029 Computer Science majors. Next year it will be ~350. Enrollments were slashed primarily due to the high cost of instruction, with undergrad teaching assistants now costing the department $73-82/hr (equivalent pre-tax comp. rate ~$89-103/hr; see tinyurl.com/ugradtas) If you want to help us maintain our excellence in this world of high costs, you can donate to the Berkeley EECS Excellence Fund at givingday.berkeley.edu/amb/supporteecs

Grateful for this angel investment supporting our work on nanobots for gene delivery

$600M+ to study what it means to be human!!! And maybe even unlock new levels of consciousness! Doris is one lucky scientist! Yet she is the best in the world to lead this ambitious effort.

The last class of 2025 @UCBerkeley

Behold our spiffy @Berkeley_EECS colleagues casually reinventing transistors in the ’90s and jump-starting the era of portable electronics, including the phone in your hand
