University of California sets world record with five Nobel Prizes in one week

[Anonymous]

The University of California made history this week, as its faculty and alumni won five Nobel Prizes across medicine, physics and chemistry — the most ever awarded to a single institution in one year.

On Monday, Frederick Ramsdell, a UC San Diego and UCLA alumnus, shared the Nobel Prize in medicine for identifying immune system cells that prevent the body from attacking itself — a breakthrough that transformed understanding of autoimmune diseases such as Type 1 diabetes and lupus.

A day later, UC Berkeley emeritus professor John Clarke, UC Santa Barbara professor Michel H. Devoret and UC Santa Barbara emeritus professor John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in physics.

Then on Wednesday, UC Berkeley chemist Omar Yaghi received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for inventing “metal-organic frameworks,” materials capable of capturing carbon dioxide, storing hydrogen and even harvesting clean drinking water from desert air.

“There is nothing like this, it’s an astonishment,” Yaghi said of receiving the prize, calling it “a feeling you don’t have often.”

These awards bring the University of California’s total to 75 Nobel Prizes since 1934.

Top researchers attract other top researchers. UCB has been at the top for generations.

Not trying to throw shade on any individual school but this is an entire consortium of schools. It's creating an entirely new category just to claim it's a new record. I'll also bet the "University.of California Consortium" team would be national champs in every ncaa sport ever year as well.

Precisely. Berkeley undergrads have massive egos because of accolades they have 0 proximity to.

You are such an uneducated snob! These are all good universities for many people and great universities for some people.

Forbes ranked Arkansas #6 Best Public College.
Oklahoma has the #4 Petroleum Engineering program.
Alabama has a top law school.
Ole Miss is renowned as a great campus and party school. What can I say?
Mizzou has a top journalism school.
