It is obvious that certain narratives in the New Testament contradict each other and cannot be woven into a historically coherent whole. How, then, do scholars construct who the "historical Jesus" was? There are several principles that historical Jesus researchers follow, which include considering data that 1) has multiple attestations and 2) is dissimilar to a text's theological tendencies as more likely to be historical. Using the modern...more

This Stanford Continuing Studies course is a six-quarter sequence of classes exploring the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, the general and special theories of relativity, electromagnatism, cosmology, black holes and statistical mechanics. While these courses build upon one another, each section of the course also stands on its own, and b...more

In this lecture, Professor Diamond continues discussing the urinary system before moving on to introduce the basic structure and nomenclature for the endocrine system. Within the urinary system she covers renal tubules, hormonal action, accessory structures, collecting ducts, ureter, urinary bladder, and urethra. She begins by showing the quantities of blood filtered and processed by the kidneys. She describes the filtration function of...more

The MIT Biology Department core courses all cover the same core material, which includes the fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into mul...more

Steve Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Co., talks about basic methods of building a successful company. He describes spending time in understanding the industry and building expertise, developing a new model by doing things differently rather than trying to change the model of a big company, and creating capacity to have more time.

Astrobiology is a new meta-discipline which combines astronomy, biology, chemistry, philosophy, and physics in an effort to study the current state of life in the universe. In the Stanford Astrobiology Course, lectures follow a, more or less, linear path from the Big Bang all the way to the development of complex life and, finally, space exploration. The course explains how evolutionary principles have operated at the macro, and micro, ...more
