This week, Professor and Nobel Laureate, Jennifer Doudna is featured in a new spring semester course, Brilliance of Berkeley. Over 14 weeks, students will meet 28 Berkeley luminaries, including three Nobel laureates and several MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" awardees, from a wide range of fields and hear lectures about their research. Staff members can attend in person on a first-come, first-served basis. Each presentation will be recorded and made available afterward, with captions, to the campus community.
To enroll in the course visit L&S 110: Brilliance of Berkeley.
The one-unit pass/no pass course will run from noon to 2 p.m. each Friday and feature one or two faculty members a week, each delivering a 50-minute talk. Students will receive modest online assignments and invites to an array of out-of-class activities — such as a campus athletic event or musical performance — designed to help them connect with their peers and with Berkeley.
