UC Berkeley to launch new center for climate science
The University of California, Berkeley will launch a new center for climate science in the fall of 2023. The center will bring together researchers from across the university to work on climate change research, education, and outreach. The center will be led by climate scientist Zeke Hausfather, who is currently a research scientist at the Berkeley Earth research institute.
UC Berkeley study finds that air pollution linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease
A new study from UC Berkeley has found that air pollution is linked to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. The study, which was published in the journal Neurology, found that people who lived in areas with high levels of air pollution had a 20% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease than people who lived in areas with low levels of air pollution. The study also found that the risk of Alzheimer's disease was even higher for people who were exposed to air pollution during their childhood.
UC Berkeley researchers develop new method for detecting early signs of cancer
UC Berkeley researchers have developed a new method for detecting early signs of cancer. The method, which is described in a paper published in the journal Nature Medicine, uses a combination of machine learning and imaging technology to identify pre-cancerous cells. The method is able to detect cancer cells at an earlier stage than current methods, which could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
