Biology is a diverse subject with many sub-disciplines – genetics, ecology, zoology, population biology, molecular biology, and many, many more. Biology 101, together with the companion course Biology 102, is designed to provide you with the basic foundations that all of these sub-disciplines build upon. In Dr. Paul Fitzgerald’s video lectures, students will explore the fundamental characteristics of living matter from the molecular level to the ecological community in which organisms live. In short, this course is a college-level introduction to matter, energy, form, and function in living systems. Read More

An evidence-based emergency medicine podcast. The Washington University Emergency Medicine Journal Club podcast provides an excellent way to keep up with the medical literature, improve patient care, and increase understanding of evidence-based medicine. Each month we ask a clinical or operational question pertinent to the practice of emergency medicine. We then discuss the four articles most relevant to that question in an attempt to determine the most evidence-based approach to patient care. Read More

(MCDB 150) This survey course introduces students to the important and basic material on human fertility, population growth, the demographic transition and population policy. Topics include: the human and environmental dimensions of population pressure, demographic history, economic and cultural causes of demographic change, environmental carrying capacity and sustainability. Political, religious and ethical issues surrounding fertility are also addressed. The lectures and readings attempt to balance theoretical and demographic scale analysis with studies of individual humans and communities. The perspective is global with both developed and developing countries included.
This course was recorded in Spring 2009. Read More

This brief video course is designed for engineers, scientists, medical personnel, managers, and others who work with lasers and/or fiberoptics, or who anticipate working with lasers and/or fiberoptics, yet have little or no background in laser or fiberoptic basics. The course focuses on fundamentals and emphasizes a physical intuitive interpretation of laser and fiberoptic phenomena and their applications. Because Prof. Ezekiel keeps mathematics to a minimum, the topics covered are easily understood, without the need for a strong technical background. Prof. Ezekiel uses plain language, graphic illustrations, and video demonstrations to explain the basic characteristics of lasers and fiberoptics.
High quality versions of the videos are also available through Zeelase.
These videos were produced by the MIT Center for Advanced Engineering Study. Read More
