After appearing at MIT in September 2010, the
TARDIS traveled though space to the west coast. It was spotted at both Caltech and Berkeley in January 2011. Although in our timeline it appeared at MIT, Caltech and then Berkeley, who of us can tell in which order the Doctor visited these institutions of high learning?

The student curators of the MIT Hack Gallery have been busy
tooling on classes and are way behind on keeping these pages up to

We're making some effort to, at least, get the
timeline up to date, so
please let us know if we're missing anything (particularly in the
1997-present timeframe).
