Virology Course 2013


# 6905

 

A little more than 3 years ago in an Online Virology Course, I wrote about Vincent Racaniellos taping and sharing on the internet of his spring virology lectures.

 

Racaniello, who pens the excellent virology blog and hosts the always fascinating This Week In Virology (TWiV), This week in Parasitism (TWiP) and This week in Microbiology (TWiM) podcasts, is a professor of virology at Columbia University.

 

On Friday Dr. Racaniello announced the start of his 4th year posting his lectures in A virology course for all, explaining:

 

Readers of virology blog can watch every lecture in the course. You will find a videocast of each lecture at the course website, at my YouTube channel, and at iTunes University. The complete 2012 version of this course is available online, at iTunes University, and YouTube.

 

Follow this link to Vince’s blog for more details. 

 

I watched many of the first season of lectures, but as age and time conspire against one’s memory, I look forward to this year’s offerings as a refresher course.

 

The first three lectures for 2013 are now up, and ready for viewing – something I’ll be doing later today.

  

While these lectures are geared towards advanced undergraduates, and parts may be a bit advanced, the great thing about the internet is you can pause and look up terms you don’t fully understand.

Based on the videos I saw in 2010, I happily recommend these lectures to disease and science geeks everywhere.
