...last fall, and Gov 1295 grew from 91 students in the spring of 2006 to 128 this past spring. Levitsky graduated from Stanford in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and received his doctorate in political science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1999. He primarily studies Latin America, focusing on informal institutions and organizations, political parties and party change, and political regimes in the context of democratization. But the scope of Levitsky’s often goes beyond his regional interests, according to Eduardo J. Gomez, who served as a teaching fellow...
Earlier this month, astronomers from San Francisco State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Carnegie Institution of Washington announced the discovery of a fifth planet around the star 55 Cancri, which is 41 light-years away in the constellation Cancer. The find makes that star system the most heavily populated one known other than our sun's and raises to 265 the total of extrasolar planets since astronomers began discovering them in 1995. To skywatchers, however, 55 Cancri is special, not just because of its litter of worlds but because of what it tells us about the possibility...
...silhouette strategy for planet hunting will not replace the wobble-watching method. Indeed, red dwarfs make that method easier and faster. "M-dwarf stars are small," says astronomer Geoff Marcy of UC Berkeley, one of the discoverers of 55 Cancri's newfound planet. "That means planets can kick them around more easily." And all that means the first twin of Earth might really be found before long--and the discovery of life on other worlds could get a whole lot closer.

Students at three universities went on strike this week to advocate for a variety of causes—including increasing curricular diversity, reducing student fees, and halting environmentally-unsound campus construction. Protests at Columbia University, the University of California-Berkeley, and the University of Massachusetts-Amherst echo events at Harvard last May, when members of Student Labor Action Movement (SLAM) fasted to influence university security guards’ contract negotiations. But while students across the country lobby for different changes and interests, most are met with little or slow change. According to the Daily...
