This is the second offering of this course through coursera.org and University of California, San Francisco. If you have a little time, this is a good course. If you don't want to keep up with the actual class, you should enroll anyway and you can download the lectures to watch later. If you've never heard of coursera.org or edx.com and you love learning, you'll love these sites! Gogogo.

Thanks for the heads up, think I'll sign up for this.
Despite being a big fan of the online Yale and other itunes U courses I hadn't heard of 'coursera' until last week so I'm looking forward to trying it out0 -

EVIDENCE BASED? That's fantastic. I saw the thread and was concerned it was going to be some alternative med filled course synopsis. Thanks!0 -

Wow - they really have widened their offerings lately... there's a whole list of health courses, including a Child Nutrition course and many many others.

Most commenters in the Food and Nutrition section of this forum need to take this seminar series. UCSF has been doing a lot of good work for a good long while.
This knowledge would help clean up this forum a touch.0 -

Yeah. For anybody who missed the Child Nutrition course, the professor has a website we're all invited to: http://justcookforkids.com/
I don't have children and I'm middle-aged, but I downloaded all of the lectures from the course anyway because it's still nutrition education. And, I'm sure the course will be offered again soon.0 -
I went to that website but it's just a link to sign up for the course. How can I look at some of the course info?0
