Howdy!

So I'm currently applying right now during a gap year working in an ER. I graduated last winter, and want to keep some contact with academia. I was curious to see if anyone had recommendations for podcasted lectures or online courses for anything, particularly science or medicine?

I listen to a few right now on Emergency Med (University of Virginia has a great one) just cause I find it interesting, and I am looking for more things to listen to while working out or during slow times on the job or during commutes.

Anyway, any suggestions would be great!

StarTalk - Hosted by Neil deGrasse Tyson. Very interesting/entertaining podcast regarding anything and everything cosmic.

Dead Authors Podcast - More pure entertainment, but still highly enjoyable. Paul F. Tompkins (as H.G. Wells) interviews other comics in character as famous dead authors.

Enjoy!

For podcasts, I recommend Persiflager's Infectious Disease (aka the PusCast) and This Week in Parasitism/This Week in Virology. All three can be found on Itunes under science and medicine.

👍

Mark Crislip (of PusCast) also does the Quackcast, which I like. The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe can vary in quality, imo, but is enjoyable from time to time, especially when Steven Novella goes on tangents about medicine.

I would re-recommend www.coursera.org

They have dramatically increased their catalog since it was last recommended and the classes are really quite excellent. I'm currently enrolled in 5 different classes and really am enjoying every single one of them.
