The fact that this course 7 lecture series is made open to the world for free is in itself revolutionary. This is what open access means. No bullshit whatsoever, just open open. I am a graduating PhD in biomedical sciences and had seen all the course 7 OCW courses when I was an undergrad in a different country. I always share this treasure cove with my mentees in the lab and what's sad is how they take this kind of course for granted. Understanding the foundational principles of how biology and the techniques we use now in the lab work is the first step to anything advanced. And you can actually see how they suffer when techniques do not work, especially because they do not understand the most basic of principles.

Finally I can say I learned at MIT.

[@SuperMsMasha]

I can't believe how easily he explains all the main steps that I couldn't figure out by listening to my professor. I hope he is well respected, because such a passion for teaching is measured in ppb!! Amazing!! Thank you!!

[@Rodztar13]

I envy the students who are taking class with this professor, he seems like the kind that actually gives a shit, he hasn't been soul crushed by academia.

[@MsTommyknocker]

Juan Rodriguez Martinez If you give a shit, you dont get sould crushed by academia.

[@forevereveryours]

MsTommyknocker you obviously haven't been in rigorous courses to understand what @Juan is talking about.

[@CrazycruxGaming]

He is a true professional! Amazing!

[@rakhshinda3538]

Juan Carlos Rodriguez Martinez I am sure of the same

[@koransumant6270]

@@forevereveryours yeah, it's made worse if you get involved in university politics, which is abundant and everlasting and a pain in all aspects. It's what ruins most professors

[@johnburke5800]

The lecturer is Dr Eric Lander, a pioneer in genetics and quite possibly the smartest person I have ever met. His combination of organization, enthusiasm and accuracy is a wonder to behold.

[@claricegarcia7889]

I wish to meet him also. Thank you for sharing!

[@MuhammadAfzal_9737]

No wonder MIT is ..well MIT

[@dongqu7959]

[@TheJessicatan82]

THIS PROF IS SO AWESOME! learning these subjects from my teacher was really boring since all she does is sit there and talk. The way she teaches makes the subjects uninteresting, but this professors has passion when he teaches, and makes it so much more interesting and fun. Also, I finally understand what I have been struggling with for a while now :)

[@kidschannel6614]

i'm watching this in 2018 and finally i can inderstand sequencing

[@ForlanElCapo]

really helpful vid as i've got my biochemistry exam next week. i hate to be 'that guy', but when he draws out the deoxyribose at 14:00, he puts in a carbon at the top point of the pentagon (since every corner = carbon atom), when it should be an oxygen.

[@microbio2117]

I wish our prof were this good at teaching 😭😭😭
