If you are interested in neuroscience but do not have too much time to dedicate to the subject I highly recommend the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s 2008 Holiday Lectures in Science.

The holiday lectures in science are usually composed of four lectures on a specific topic presented by HHMI investigators from universities in US. The lectures (at least the ones from 2008) are very well produced both in a scientific aspect as in the technical/cinematographic aspect and they condense an impressive amount of information in little less than 4 hours. I was impressed with how much I learned very little time.

You can watch the lectures in HMMI’s website :

or download then for your ipod:

Enjoy

I just finished the following iTunes U course: http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/yale.edu.1900004221

It is very good. Very interesting both in the biological stand point and in the engineering point. It also reminded me of my advisor David Goldberg several times, and of his view of what it means to be an engineer.
The only problem is that the slides are copyrighted and therefore not presented, so you loose the animations and other important visual material. Therefore I recommend using downloading this lecture in MP3 instead of videos, and watching it in times you wouldn’t be able to see a video (for example while you work out, in the bus, while you make your breakfast).

It is pretty short course and covers a large spectrum of bioengineering. Really interesting.
Enjoy =D.

Just finished watching Intro to Biology From MIT http://bit.ly/1Vvji1 (iTunesU). Highly recommended (and free).

Pier Luca Lanzi, from the Politecnico di Milano university made his lectures on data mining available on the web trough Vimeo. It is a good resource if you whant to learn some principles of data mining. The lectures can be found here. You can also visit Pier Luca’s website here.
