About this Guide

A Studied Life

Self-study, finding out more about how you personally function, is one of the trickiest areas of research.  We all have pre-conceived notions about who we are and what impacts us on a daily basis.  The reward is finding out what we are great at, and learning to work around everything else.  Be gentle with yourself, self-study can reveal a lifetime of rewards.

Behind-the-Scenes

Mark is busy building model kits we have been finding on Amazon and ebay.  This stomach model has several interesting features.

In lab work, things often don’t go as planned.  Here was an attempt to model the synergistic (joint) effects of pepsin and hydrochloric acid in breaking protein down into amino acids.

Body Library

If you are building a library about the human body, children’s books can provide a good foundation of basics for the entire family.  These books bring the natural world to life.

One of the advantages of an online course is that you are learning at the location where you may apply the information.  You may be noticing that each of our guides starts at a different location (diner, park, gym, and so on).

Learning on Location

One of the advantages of an online course is that you are learning at the location where you may apply the information. You may be noticing that each of our guides starts at a different location (diner, park, gym, and so on).
Later in this course we'll explore how to deliberately plan for learning in different locations.  Ultimately we hope this is biology you can (and will) use.

A small & portable anatomy book you can take to the doctor and annotate like a journal.  Accessible & detailed illustrations, plus inexpensive too.

Why not a coffee table book?  What can be more interesting and relevant than our bodies?
