Stellar,

I may be in that course. I started it once before and did not finish.

I've never done the course, although I did go through his "Great Courses" Big History course. And of course read Maps of Time.

Well I reenrolled. If you are in the course, it will help encourage me to finish this time.

There is another course on edx starting this week on mitochondria. That will likely be my priority, should it prove too difficult to take both.

I've enrolled, hard to predict if I have the time and perseverance to follow through. free edition.

We can try to post our thoughts here?

In that case, maybe I'll do it. I have a lot going on during that time, but I'll give it a try.

And mitochondria too? That would be fun!
