25 Scientific Supercourse

26 Need for a Scientific Supercourse Science has become enormous, and compartmentalized making interdisciplinary research and training difficult It is a very large task to keep current for 2 areas of science, let alone 30 topics for a review course Many Scientific findings take >5 year to appear in classrooms A large number of developing countries have not received scientific journals and books for greater than a decade Scientists have always shared, why not share our best lectures? The Library of Alexandria saved scientific works for >700 years, we should archive our lectures

27 Supercourse Global Network of Scientists Sharing PowerPoint Lectures

28 Building a Scientific Supercourse Vetted content Network Distribution System Funding

29 Discipline Vetted Lectures Of Science = Keynote Speakers

30 Networking Scientists Scientists in 1-2 0 of each other 45,000 Prevention network contacting Scientific Friends Flier in Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese Viral Marketing All Scientists in world knowing about this in 3 weeks
