I have to admit I don’t know much about MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) or about Coursera, but the idea does sound pretty intriguing.
A new one is starting this fall called “Gut Check: Exploring your Microbiome” that sounds particularly awesome. It’s hosted by Rob Knight and others in his lab, with “visiting” lectures from experts around the world. Seems like a really good way to dive into a deeper understanding of the human microbiome.
