  • File deleted at my request, was a user submitted photograph not covered by UCB's CC arrangement (only staff images). Also, even staff images are for noncommercial use only. Photograph was by "Kimberly", whose email was - correct me if I'm wrong - not given, so I'm doubtful of the possibility that permission can still be obtained.
