When you’re learning about nuclear chemistry, you’re learning about Seaborg discovering Berkelium, Californium, and Lawrencium, discovered at Berkeley by Berkeley scientists. Same goes for a lot of other topics. Berkeley scientists discovered so many cool things and some of those people are still teaching your classes. The scientist who created CRISPR (gene splicing. Super cool) teaches Bio 1A. And you have the opportunity to do research with these people, work with them, and learn from them. Learning about all of these cool projects and startups and research, gives you ideas of what you can do for your projects later.
