Around UC Berkeley

Wannabes...

It turns out that the University of California at Berkeley is listed as one of the recommended places to visit in Berkeley. It's really a nice campus, with loads of museums and historical buildings. In fact, there's even a visitor's centre on campus where guided tours are available. With 18 Nobel prize winners (7 of them still active staff) and its history of idealism and revolution, UC Berkeley remains as one of the top universities in the world. So it's really an honour to be here - in particular to be able to meet and work with some of the top astronomers/astrophysicists in the world, some of whom we've seen on TV documentaries!

The cute little squirrels that run around the campus...

The famous clock tower that rings every hour...

The gardens and wooded enclaves within the campus are really refreshing...
