[edit]

Change "Berkeley's alumni, faculty, and researchers include 21 Nobel laureates[21]" to Berkeley's alumni, faculty, and researchers include 55 Nobel laureates.

According to the official website of Berkeley (https://inspire.berkeley.edu/get-inspired/nobels/), the school has at least 55 nobel prizes laureates, not including many nobel prizes winners that taught in the university but hadn't been included in the record.

CI think it would also be better if we include that fact that Berkeley has been consistently ranked as number 1 public university in the US and even the world, according to US News global universities ranking 2023. Thanks! 1255979u (talk) 04:33, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nobel list was limited to "This list shows the universities, research institutions or companies Nobel Laureates were affiliated with at the time of the Nobel Prize announcement. Only Nobel Laureates in Physics, Chemistry and Physiology or Medicine, and Laureates in Economic Sciences are shown in the list." Statement in lead was broader and included alumni, etc, so the 55 number seems more accurate. meamemg (talk) 16:55, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change 55 to 57 as Berkeley alum has just won two Nobel prizes and it has been updated to the reference too. 2607:F140:400:17E:589D:5F37:A31E:72C (talk) 04:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Berkeley Nobel prize number

[edit]

. Tbh we really need to decide a set measure to uni Nobel prize number or clearly elaborate the stats we use in the article. Columbia and Chicago counts all of the Nobel prizes that grad or taught in the school, while Berkeley only count the alum and the prof receive the prize at the time when they r in Berkeley, which is a big differences as many previous/future Berkeley prof won the prize. Even this year, 2 Berkeley alum won the prize while the other 2 laureate r connected with Berkeley. In UChicago standard, 4 shall be added to the total count, doubling the current addition. 2607:F140:400:17E:589D:5F37:A31E:72C (talk) 04:53, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I count 59 prize winners listed at the university's "Inspire" site, which includes nine laureates since 2020. Dhtwiki (talk) 05:50, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The logo on this page and in Wikipedia articles for other UC Berkeley units need to be updated

[edit]

If you look at all the UC Berkeley campus web sites, nearly all of them have switched from a "Berkeley" logo to a "UC Berkeley" logo under newly-inaugurated Chancellor Rich Lyons. It looks like Lyons is trying to implement a consistent "UC Berkeley" brand to connect the campus to the University of California, similar to how all other UC campuses have "UC" in their names.
