1. Introduction, Course Organization of MIT 7.016 Introductory Biology, Fall 2018

Ive got about 5 pairs of genes. Granted my dresser is mostly made up of shorts but hey. Nah JK😂🫡. Loved the lecture.

The only thing I don’t like is the religion they put in halfway through (evolution)

❤

Thank you very much for sharing this course

The amount of exposition here is madness!

hey guys,, does this playlist cover everything abt biology ?

Thank you very much for sharing so much knowledge! It is wonderful to have access to it and to listen to passionate teachers explaining! Thank you!

I got so emotional during this lecture

I'm from Malaysia and I'm currently doing my A-levels here. The thing about education here and also the thing about modern late gen-z students in Asia is that a vast majority of students don't actually care or love the material we're studying nor do we find some immaculate passion derived from it either, it's more so that we pursue something we've been claimed as "good at", so we get into these high prestige universities and colleges, do a course that's highly sought after, and then we complete the course with the goal and aim of getting a very high-paying job.

unfortunately, I fell into this rabbit hole and it made me realise just how much I didn't actually know about biology, biochemistry, the field i wanted to continue to study and work in.

this lecture kind of nursed back that blob of passion in me and it is very refreshing, comforting, and nice to be back to how I used to feel about going into and learning biochemistry

thank you

Does anyone know which textbook they used for this course?

Love open courseware...
So grateful and what a great instructor.
Thank you MIT

does anybody know what textbook they are using?

Great information I will impress you 🇵🇰🇵🇰

Whats the name of the textbook the readings are in?

Just started watching and not to criticize but a super heated earth is sterile correct, I dont believe this is the case unless water arrive with microscopic life after the dawning of plant life lol exactly god is what I was thinking to.

OMG....can I please go back to school and have this instructor??? She is fabulous !!!

Thank you so much

Going on a run with your instructor would be the easiest way to break the ice

Which textbook do you use?

I love the running hour a idea 😃😃😃 because of running, I want to get back to college. Running really changed my life and perspective 😃👍

Amazing thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 I’m planning to get back to college and your lectures were the stepping stones to re-educate myself until I get the chance to get back to the university 💐💐💐

Teach us how to observe

Miracles

Honor and biology have nothing to do with each other

Your golden days are not behind you

Love your Lab

Micro biology is not about insects

We need you to Reverse age

The professor is so captivating .

can i find a textbook

Energy of this woman is incredible

Thank you for posting this course.

I wanted to take Biology during my college career, but was unable due to needing to commit to my major coursework as I was struggling with mental health issues at the time. This course seems exciting, and I'm very grateful for the clarification that no pre-knowledge is required (I unfortunately have a poor science background currently).

I was honestly feeling a flood of anxiety coming on watching this intro lecture (just me?), due to the sheer volume of information being presented, but do feel that I'll be able to get a lot out of this class without the pressure of exams and deadlines to worry about.

I don't understand this language I AM INDIANS

You are the best professor . I like biology

Amazing channel, motivated and fully involved

Terimakasih banyak sekali. Bisa belajar banyak lagi dari awal, andai guruguru di Indonesia bisa gini. 😀😅

The enthusiasm and energy of both professors make me want to be in class because I want to, not because I have to. Not to mention their welcoming characters during office hours and running hours.

Honest to got that women sucks! I’ve seen better 9th graders explain biology and DNA. She’s all over the place

thank you very much for such lecture both professors. I am currently developing some content for a nursing program and i am proud to say i am referencing from this

1. I feel smarter already 2. I want to know how running hours went.

Prof. Imperiali, your class is larger than you can imagine. Internet students. If you ever asked for enrollment and submission of assignments you'll gladly be overwhelmed. Thank you for helping us build up our careers.

Can someone please suggest which book covers most of the topics of general biology.
Thanks in advance.

This is by far my favorite series of teaching, these are the most amazing teachers, and inspired me to get into medical lab science!

The human didn't evolve from the chimpanzee! Humans and chimpanzees evolved from a closely related common ancestor very different from both organisms.

What I've learnt? A framework. Nothing is taught in excruciating detail, this introductory lesson gave a basic framework, a basic idea of what we're going to explore in the future lectures.

Summary Points:

1. Origin of life millions/billions of years ago
-Introduction of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

2. Multicellular organisms and their genetic material.
- Length of their genome
- Evolutionary study of their genome

3. How we understood the basis of genetics.
- Structure of DNA
- How we all have 99.9% same genome

4. Use of Fluorescence to sequence genome (Visualisation)
- Comparison of genome of trillions of our own cells
- treatment of diseases (genetically)

5. Ethics in Biology

6. Inheritance

7. Application of everything we are going to learn (in real world: Crimes and medicine)

8. Know about your ancestry/Lineage
- for catching criminals

9. Cell signalling and how molecules/cells interact within our body

10. How our body takes it's shape?
- Learn about our body with the help of some models of Fly's embryo (I guess can't study with human embryo because of those ethical stuff explained before👀)

Thank you!

Loving gene

White PPL still untrusted here...hmmmm
Use Max intelligence to avoid repeat...

I think my brains skeptic..nothing sticks till good pruf

Thank you very much for this.
