<p>I just googled Einstein today and clicked on the link about his son. His son Hans Einstein was a professor of hydraulic engineering at Berkeley… wow</p>
<p>I’ve never seen Berkeley capitalize on that…? xD Or maybe I’ve just never read it. I googled and clicked on the first few hits (wikipedia, lol, but I was surprised a link by Berkeley itself didn’t show up) and, apparently, Einstein’s grandson (Hans’ son?) also either taught at Cal or attended it. I wonder if it’s true…?</p>
<p>Also, I just recently read somewhere that friggin Oppenheimer taught at Berkeley??</p>

<p>Einstein’s granddaughter (Han’s adopted daughter) “spoke four or five languages and earned degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, including a master’s in medieval literature.”</p>
<p>And yes Oppenheimer did teach at Berkeley… and aside from all these physicists, don’t forget Berkeley pretty much invented chemistry lol </p>
<p>Go bears!</p>
<p>Yay!! 
And I was in Alex Filippenko’s class today; it was awesome to hear him talk about astronomy, and some of the stuff he had studied about dark matter, his research, etc.</p>
<p>I think there are a lot pics of Oppenheimer around Lewis</p>
<p>I definitely knew about Oppenheimer, but I had no idea about Einstein’s son! That’s super cool.</p>
<p>So did the Unabomber. And Cory Hall was the only building bombed twice by him.</p>
<p>Plutonium was discovered in a small office on the 3rd floor of Gilman Hall. There is a plaque outside the door.</p>
<p>LeConte hall also has a plaque outside a room…something about lasers but I forget what.</p>
