Food for the Mind

Here are my favorite online courses, conferences, etc. The podcasts on Low Dimension Electron Systems are exciting with much information on graphene, graphane, etc. Sidney's lectures now have sort of a cult status. In many the blackboard is too bury to read, but Harvard affiliates can get the DVDs which are clearer. The wireless mike he uses sometimes picks up intelligible radio chatter. Sidney's videos are not in color. This adds to the feeling of a bygone age. It is wonderful how Standford University, MIT, etc. have the lectures from a number of their courses on YouTube.
