An interesting online class coming up

You can audit the course at no charge. It's aimed at professionals, but I think a well read lay person could benefit from it as well. It covers biofilms and chronic infections of the ear, lung, and bone implants among others.

I took it last year, and have never had more than online introductory classes in biology. But I love science, and fear no Latin or Greek ... or Danes with thick accents, for that matter.

Thanks for sharing the link. Even when the classes are not directly "useful", the background information can be invaluable.

Looks interesting. I signed up. Since auditing, you can access the flash cards. (Hope that helps familiarizing the fancy words.)

They didn't have flashcards when I took in in 2015!

Please do also enable the subtitles while viewing the videos.

I think with courses like these, it's good to ask Wikipedia and Google for things, too. I often spend an hour or more in outside reading for week's lectures. But even if the terminology gets thick, I think it's worth it.

I download the videos, all transcriptions, and all handouts.

I think I'll sign up again to see what has changed in a year and a half.

Thanks! I signed up too.
