Summary

Next stop on the Genomics train is Junk DNA - the non-coding part of the genome. Dr. Sabah Kadri does a deep dive into the parts of the genome that we are still trying to understand. She highlights the major milestones in the field, its achievements and challenges, peppered with the usual origin stories and fun anecdotes from scientific history.

Harvard Extension School's Computer Science E-7: Exposing Digital Photography Dan Armendariz Photography has exploded in recent years as digital cameras have become affordable and easier to use. There are many courses that teach students the artistic aspect of "how to become a better photographer" or "how to improve your eye," but this is not one of them. Instead, students—from one-time users to professionals—become better photographers through an understanding of the technical aspects and terms of a digital camera. Learn why photos look blurry at night, why color management is important, what the difference between sports mode and portrait mode on the camera's dial is, and how to manipulate the camera without the need of these modes in the first place. Topics include exposure and metering, flash, dynamic range, CMOS and CCD sensors, color filter arrays, RAW versus JPEG formats, color spaces and profiles, editing photos with Photoshop, and optical and computational artifacts. Through lectures and hands-on assignments, students understand the jargon and compromises of digital p TRXL Evan Troxel TRXL is the definitive podcast on technology and the architecture and engineering professions — and the longest-running. 200+ episodes.
