New link

I just added "Economist's View" (written by Mark Thoma) to the "Links" panel on the right. I don't know anything about Thoma, but my first impression is that politically he's kind of middle of the road, that is, halfway between Brad de Long and Gregory Mankiw.

The coolest thing about this blog: If you hunt around and click here and there, you can find your way to video lectures of his upper-level (graduate?) courses in monetary economics and econometrics. Not that anyone in his right mind would want to watch upper-level (graduate?) courses in monetary economics and econometrics, but still, I think it's cool that he's willing to do this.

Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it, is to find videos of introductory college level lecture courses in biology, physics, astronomy, and chemistry.

I repeat: "introductory college level" courses. Hey, I'll settle for high school courses.

As usual, should you or any of your Mission Impossible force be captured, the director will disavow any knowledge.

Update: I hope it goes without saying I'm looking for free courses in biology, physics, astronomy, and chemistry.
