What Day Is It?
Late on this Wednesday 30 April, some friends and I were having meal at the local branch of a famous American fast-food.
Then some time after midnight passed, we noticed something weird on the TV that was showing advertisements.
Have a look at the video below.

UC Berkeley puts its Lectures on YouTube
“The University of California, Berkeley is the preeminent public research and teaching institution in the nation. From classic literature to emerging technologies, the curricula of our 130 academic departments span the wide world of thought and knowledge. Supported by the people of California, the university has embraced public service as an essential part of its mission since 1868.”
The University has opened a channel on YouTube where videos of their lectures are available.
So far, there are a few subjects available, among which there is Integrative Biology 131: General Human Anatomy, which applies to medical studies.
I really think it is a good idea to make those kind of valuable resources free to every one. Hopefully other universities will follow this initiative.
