Lecturers generously donate their time to prepare these lectures. The project is funded by NSF and NIGMS, and is supported by the UCSF and HHMI.
Free, on-demand lectures: Many universities/colleges have limited access to high profile leaders in biological research. Our goal is to add 45 seminars per year, of similar quality to outstanding lectures that are currently in this library. Access, through web streaming or download, is completely free-of-charge. Please help us keep this resource free by subscribing to the podcasts, giving us a rating, and leaving your comments at the bottom of the collection pages. Thanks!
Targeting a broad audience, our talks start with an extended introduction, making them accessible to non-specialists and students, and then progress to cover current research. Senior scientists and students can view and enjoy these lectures.
Education: our talks are being used by undergraduate and graduate teachers to augment their classroom material. We have now added an education component to this web site (including lecture notes, questions/answers and short video clips for teaching).
International communication: our talks have viewers in 115 countries and they are being internally promoted in several countries as an educational tool and scientific resource.
