In this course, we will explore the smaller side of biology: molecular biology. We’ll cover basic topics including cell biology and how cells can go “rogue” and turn into cancer, how energy from the sun is transferred to fuel our bodies, basics of genetics and inheritance, and genetic technologies. At the end of this course, we will discuss ethical and moral implications of several exciting and new genetic technologies.

Principales reseñas sobre THE LITTLE STUFF: ENERGY, CELLS, AND GENETICS
the course was thoroughly awesome and it covered almost all the basics of biology at initial stage.
One of the assignments included reading a NY Times article that required a subscription. Reading materials should be available to users without paywall.
I have learned a lot from this course and I definitely recommend !!
It was very interesting and everything was presented in an easy-to-understand way. Many topics were introduced that are important to know and think about in my opinion. Great course!
