YouTube - Vitamin D: It's Not Just For Bones Anymore
David Feldman, MD, professor of medicine at Stanford, explores the biological action of Vitamin D beyond its widely understood role in the information and maintenance of bone. Emerging therapeutic uses of the vitamin include the prevention and treatment of breast, prostate and colon cancer, chronic kidney disease and arthritis, among other conditions.

Open Courseware: How You Can Take Classes at MIT, Stanford, or Johns Hopkins for Free - Distance Education.org
The year was 1999. The online education industry was still in its infancy, but MIT was ahead of the times. The school’s provost, Robert Brown, had just given the school an assignment: figure out how to position itself for the coming trend in online learning.
Many colleges at the time wanted to figure out how to make money with online education—and MIT was no different. But then a group of professors suggested a revolutionary idea: why not just post all class materials online, available to everyone? And why not make it free?
MIT attracted funding and publicity, and the rest was history. Their success sparked an OpenCourseWare movement among top universities all over the world. Today, you can pull up a virtual chair and sit in on classes at Carnegie Mellon, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Utah State, the University of Notre Dame, and other top-tier universities—all without paying a dime.

Course | Programming Abstractions - YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
This course (CS 106B) is the successor to CS 106A and covers more advanced programming topics such as recursion, algorithmic analysis, and data abstraction. It is taught using the C++ programming language, which is similar to both C and Java. In the past when both CS 106A and CS106B were taught in C/C++, the coupling between the two classes was very tight and it was unheard for students to take CS106B without having completed our CS 106A (we recommended CS 106X instead). Nowadays, some students do go straight into CS106B, this is typically appropriate for a student who done well in an intro programming course (e.g., scored 4 or 5 on the CS AP exam or earned a good grade in a college course) and has sufficient familiarity with good programming style and software engineering issues (at the level of CS 106A) to use this understanding as a foundation on which to tackle advanced topics.

Course | Darwin's Legacy - YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
"Light will be thrown..." With these modest words, Charles Darwin launched a sweeping new theory of life in his epic book, On the Origin of Species (1859). The theory opened eyes and minds around the world to a radical new understanding of the flora and fauna of the planet. Here, Darwin showed for the first time that no supernatural processes are necessary to explain the profusion of living beings on earth, that all organisms past and present are related in a historical branching pattern of descent, and that human beings fall into place quite naturally in the web of all life. Now, 150 years later and 200 years after Darwins birth, we celebrate the amazingly productive vision and reach of his theory. In this Fall Quarter course, we will meet weekly with leading Darwin scholars from around the country to learn about Darwins far-reaching legacy in fields as diverse as anthropology, religion, medicine, psychology, philosophy, literature, and biology. With such a broad reach across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, no wonder the theory of evolution by natural selection has been called the single best idea, ever. Presented by the Stanford Continuing Studies Program.

ocated between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions.
The University was founded in 1891 by Leland and Jane Stanford to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." More than a century later, Stanford remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing our students for leadership in today's complex world.
