Understanding Human Behavior – Santa Fe Institute

Our multidisciplinary, quantitative lens can help deepen our understanding of perhaps the most complex of complex systems, namely, human behavior. The emergence, persistence, and demise of social institutions and their co-evolution with distinctive human behaviors - such as altruistic cooperation, out-group hostility and adaptive learning - are typically overlooked in standard economic and other behavioral science models. In line with the well-established scientific tradition of the Institute, this research is characterized by (a) its trans-disciplinary nature, (b) its use of nonlinear dynamical systems to study the explicit out-of-equilibrium dynamics of the relevant processes, (c) and sustained interaction between mathematical modeling and well-defined empirical case studies and problems of potentially great contemporary practical relevance.

Modern Physics: The Theoretical Minimum – Einstein’s Theory – Stanford Continuing Studies Program

This course is comprised of a six-quarter sequence of classes that will explore the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course sequence will include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, the general and special theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes. While these courses will build upon one another, each course also stands on its own, and both individually and collectively they will let students attain the “theoretical minimum” for thinking intelligently about modern physics. Quantum theory governs the universe at its most basic level. In the first half of the 20th century physics was turned on its head by the radical discoveries of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schroedinger. An entire new logical and mathematical foundation—quantum mechanics—eventually replaced classical physics. We will explore the quantum world, including the particle theory of light, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and the Schroedinger Equation. Read More

Introduction to Biology – Prof. Eric Lander Prof. Robert Weingberg Dr. Claudette Gardel

The MIT Biology Department core courses, 7.012, 7.013, and 7.014, all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms. In addition, each version of the subject has its own distinctive material. 7.012 focuses on the exploration of current research in cell biology, immunology, neurobiology, genomics, and molecular medicine.

The Southern Outdoorsmen Hunting Podcast

The Southern Outdoorsmen is a weekly deer hunting podcast for serious DIY whitetail hunters, hosted by Andrew Maxwell and Jacob Myers. Since 2017 - across 800+ episodes - we've sat down with the best hometown deer hunters in the country: the guys quietly killing mature bucks year after year on the same public land, leases, hunting clubs, and family farms as everyone else, and broken down exactly how they do it.

Every Monday we drop a new episode on the woodsmanship that actually fills tags - scouting and reading terrain, deer behavior and the rut, trail camera strategy, bowhunting, public land tactics, and habitat management - with a heavy focus on the Southeast and hard-hunted ground across the country. No fluff, no big-name filler. Just proven whitetail tactics you can put to work this fall.
