1. Introduction, Course Organization of MIT 7.016 Introductory Biology, Fall 2018 

You don’t have a small class professor, You have got the biggest class possible - the internet. Thanks for this

It would be a dream to be in class with these two professors. They’re energy is contagious and they’re committed to their students success

This Intro would be a great basis for a TED talk on the current state of Biology. Open Courseware has been a lifesaver for me during Covid-19. I'm 74 and cannot tolerate the commercial television media in any great quantity. Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra is a fine challenge. I also enjoy Jeffrey Grossman's energy with Solid State Chemistry. Not by bread alone, so I do have an appetite for other channels but OCW is a staple. Thank you.

This is an astonishing intro lecture! I'm far from being a professional in Biology but watching these 2 professors presenting this information, it really got my attention. The moment where they showed the cells in motion was incredible. It looks like most of the secrets of life itself run at a so microscopic level that it's unobservable to most of us!

I heard the whole lecture and I found it very interesting. Mrs.Imperiali talked about the inner workings of the cell in biology. Such as the structure of the cell and the ethics of cloning cells to create other organisms. Mr. Martin elaborated on what Mrs. Imperiali talked about. He also added that a DNA search from a family tree caught an ex-cop for a murder case he was in. Biology is amazing. I can't wait to hear more lectures on biology.

This is by far my favorite series of teaching, these are the most amazing teachers, and inspired me to get into medical lab science!

The inaudible part is CRISPR/Cas referring to crispr cas9 mechanism of editing genes and DNA. Cas9 is the enzyme used for editing the genetic material if anyone is interested

I just love professor Babara 's mastery of al the knowledge she presented and her absolutely fascinating enthusiasm.

Thanks MIT for sharing knowledge.

Running hours in addition to the normal office hours. This must be the most wholesome learning environment I’ve ever known!

Amazing thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 I’m planning to get back to college and your lectures were the stepping stones to re-educate myself until I get the chance to get back to the university 💐💐💐

The enthusiasm and energy of both professors make me want to be in class because I want to, not because I have to. Not to mention their welcoming characters during office hours and running hours.

Thank you for posting this course. I wanted to take Biology during my college career, but was unable due to needing to commit to my major coursework as I was struggling with mental health issues at the time. This course seems exciting, and I'm very grateful for the clarification that no pre-knowledge is required (I unfortunately have a poor science background currently). I was honestly feeling a flood of anxiety coming on watching this intro lecture (just me?), due to the sheer volume of information being presented, but do feel that I'll be able to get a lot out of this class without the pressure of exams and deadlines to worry about.

Thank you for sharing the lectures and sharing the love of biology!!!

Love open courseware... So grateful and what a great instructor. Thank you MIT

Prof. Imperiali, your class is larger than you can imagine. Internet students. If you ever asked for enrollment and submission of assignments you'll gladly be overwhelmed. Thank you for helping us build up our careers.

thank u so much for this lecture! i was really mesmerized seeing the fluorescent protein application in studying and observing the cell divison! its just so good!

It's been a long time for me coming out of a cult which preached that education that taught evolution was evil, and it would send me to hell if I asked questions about it or explored understanding of it. I'm extremely grateful for having the technology in my hands right now that allows me inside a MIT classroom. In the cult I was in, I grew up not knowing about these kinds of colleges and universities. It was all about Pensacola Christian College and Institute for Basic Life Principles, and Bob Jones. Thank you for posting.

I got so emotional during this lecture I'm from Malaysia and I'm currently doing my A-levels here. The thing about education here and also the thing about modern late gen-z students in Asia is that a vast majority of students don't actually care or love the material we're studying nor do we find some immaculate passion derived from it either, it's more so that we pursue something we've been claimed as "good at", so we get into these high prestige universities and colleges, do a course that's highly sought after, and then we complete the course with the goal and aim of getting a very high-paying job. unfortunately, I fell into this rabbit hole and it made me realise just how much I didn't actually know about biology, biochemistry, the field i wanted to continue to study and work in. this lecture kind of nursed back that blob of passion in me and it is very refreshing, comforting, and nice to be back to how I used to feel about going into and learning biochemistry thank you

It’s the middle of summer and I was really missing my classes thank you for this!!!!

Thank you very much for sharing so much knowledge! It is wonderful to have access to it and to listen to passionate teachers explaining! Thank you!

The dopest biology lecture I’ve ever watched.

Thank you yt for providing these wonderful knowledge giving lectures 🙏

Amazing channel, motivated and fully involved

thank you very much for such lecture both professors. I am currently developing some content for a nursing program and i am proud to say i am referencing from this

Goodness you have no idea how much I miss lecture!!! Some sense of normalcy it was

wow, this introductory lecture is just incredible, omg

Thank you for this information - I appreciate the speakers knowledge and presentation.

Energy of this woman is incredible

It was a great lecture on the topic evolution. It described a lot of things which we must know as a MBBS student.

Absolutely fabulous, it help me a lot in my master

Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Wao She had changed, softer, nicer, and far less strict compared to 5 million years ago.

This is my favorite topic. Thank you for posting.

Wish my professors were this good at presenting

Excellent presentation! I still miss my 4 years at MIT 1980-85!

WFH is allowing me to learn alot. Love Biology and biochem. Physics next.

I love the running hour a idea 😃😃😃 because of running, I want to get back to college. Running really changed my life and perspective 😃👍

The professor is so captivating .

OMG....can I please go back to school and have this instructor??? She is fabulous !!!

Thank you very much for sharing this course

10:19 - 10:49 is all about what "people believe" but decidedly not what science can yet demonstrate. Otherwise, this course is amazing. Thanks, MIT.

Chasing those bacteriam by white blood cells are so amazing to watch😘

Thanks for learning from home.:)

Danke. This is why Internet is great: Knowledge available to all who care.

Very wonderful presentation MIT

The amount of exposition here is madness!

You are the best professor . I like biology

Thanku for sharing these lectures in youtube

what a great instructor!

Thank you very much for this.

Very useful to me. Thank you..

What I've learnt? A framework. Nothing is taught in excruciating detail, this introductory lesson gave a basic framework, a basic idea of what we're going to explore in the future lectures. Summary Points: 1. Origin of life millions/billions of years ago -Introduction of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. 2. Multicellular organisms and their genetic material. - Length of their genome - Evolutionary study of their genome 3. How we understood the basis of genetics. - Structure of DNA - How we all have 99.9% same genome 4. Use of Fluorescence to sequence genome (Visualisation) - Comparison of genome of trillions of our own cells - treatment of diseases (genetically) 5. Ethics in Biology 6. Inheritance 7. Application of everything we are going to learn (in real world: Crimes and medicine) 8. Know about your ancestry/Lineage - for catching criminals 9. Cell signalling and how molecules/cells interact within our body 10. How our body takes it's shape? - Learn about our body with the help of some models of Fly's embryo (I guess can't study with human embryo because of those ethical stuff explained before👀) Thank you!

shes great

Terimakasih banyak sekali. Bisa belajar banyak lagi dari awal, andai guruguru di Indonesia bisa gini. 😀😅

Every organism extant now can be considered rather equally evolved, although selective stresses in shorter periods than the whole, may induce increased selection for change.

Well, I'm no geneticist and am a Young Earth Creationist and haven't studied bio since about a decade ago. We used Campbell's Biology. I am downloading the book to reread it, but appreciate these videos. Hopefully in time I'll learn more.

Loved it. Thank you!

Fascinating intro thank you, I'm amazed and eager to learn more. from the basic structure of the double helix, cellular division and replication of DNA. to advanced programmed cellular functionality and structured bio synthetic engineering. Artificial intelligence is inevitable. I believe it's 100% beneficial, for the next step in evolution. The applications of bio synthetic engineering has endless possibilities. Imagine a global unity with advanced technology's for a cleaner-greener Earth. Immortality and although I may sound like a mad scientist in si-fi novel. I can even imagine an interstellar advanced Super Human civilization. this is just the surface of much more to come.

Where are all lectures on cell bio?

Going on a run with your instructor would be the easiest way to break the ice

That very helpful in my study thank you ✨🙏

I love how Prof. Imperiali doesn't waste time with meaningless waffle unrelated to the course materials. She quickly introduces the course staff, detailing their backgrounds to provide context, before moving on to an overview of what the course will cover. Why can't more courses do this instead of spending 20 minutes repeating the same dribble about course schedules which is already covered in course notes? In any case, it is refreshing. A professor excited about the material that they are teaching should always be conveyed with their body language and the strength of their language.

The human didn't evolve from the chimpanzee! Humans and chimpanzees evolved from a closely related common ancestor very different from both organisms.

damn, I would totally run with this guy and talk about some biology stuff

What a blessing

Thank you for comp.

Love your Lab

Great course.

Thank you so much

The first few units have the similar curriculum as high school biology, but then immunology and microbiology topics are not covered in high school

MIT I AM COMING !!!

Anyone here after you picked up interest in biology due to covid crisis?

The slide has a typo development is spelled incorrectly. It's not devlopment. Even MIT makes mistakes, makes me feel better some how. Thanks MTI.

Thanks

The teachers are so friendly

Every time I think about going to school , I watch one of these videos and realize how dumb I am.

Thank you for the lecture 👍😊

First prokaryotes are not cyanobacteria. They are just one of the primordial bacteria which also include proteobacteria.

I wonder how many of them actually went to that running time with the professor. OˋwˊO

Does this course cover all General Biology I material as taught at other institutions?

please upload the 2020 version of introductory biology

Reading the fact that 1-2% code is for proteins made me take a pause. As a person with ehlers-danlos syndrome, which is caused by protein synthesis. Would this not be one of the easier things to solve for the public to solve?

From Taxonomy & Bisection to DNA - based Modern Biology

Quien mas lo escucha desde México 😎💪

This whole series is great when you have an IB Bio teacher that has no clue what she's doing. Glad MIT decided to publish all this stuff completely for free.

34:23

14:04 This was a very strong phrase! Mighty "Evolution" should be pronounced so.

THE BIOLOGIC CAN DO ALL

man i keep striking gold mines, first it was prehistory now its biology, i better understand it all and become a doctor of myself by the end of this course heheeh

I’m a law student but learning biology!!!!! So much fun😂😂

1. I feel smarter already 2. I want to know how running hours went.

You forgot Lisa meitner

Loving gene

❣️

How to get the texts recommended to read at 33:50?

Great information I will impress you 🇵🇰🇵🇰

is there any chance to ask on ideas for those who are watching online?

COOL :)
