nice lecture

[celestioster]

thank you MIT for these wonderful lectures...simple and succinctly put!!

Amazing presentatios, thanks MIT for developing these free online courses, it's the best way to spreed knowledge, this can be beneficial to people all arround the globe (i am from Argentina, sorry for the bad writting)

The only thing that really upsets me, is the fact that some people in those classes think that this might be a waste of time, well you should know that you stand in a possition of privilege, a lot of people around the world wish they could be sitting in one of those empty chairs!

man, that's what we need more of at stony brook...guest lecturers like this.

As a current biochem students, Our lectures and tests aren't much different from what MIT, but would be nice to get more 'star' power.

Very interesting. Didn't know that the total length of DNA in a human exceeds the distance to the sun.

I did a binary geometric representation that can simulate symmetric as well as assymetric cell division and still keep it's symmetrical properties (such as expressing and manipulate boolean algebra, a discrete internal and external coordinate system that can be used by a discrete code such as DNA, etc).

I would appreciate your thoughts.

Many thanks to MIT for these presentations. It's been a few decades since I sat in on such classes. At Penn State in 1988-89, I was a lab assistant for a professor of cytology, investigating mitochondrial DNA in potatoes. I audited biochemistry classes, and now I can learn what has changed, such as the way DNA polymerase works (since 2001)!
