Dear Learner,
In the age of AI, facts are everywhere. But understanding—real, lasting understanding—still takes a human connection. That’s why I built this course.
Exploring Life tells the entire story of life—from the birth of the universe to today—making meaningful connections across disciplines, all in a single semester. It’s not just about earning credit; it’s about seeing what biology means for you, for our species, and for the planet’s future.
The insights you’ll gain here go far beyond what most people ever learn about how nature truly works—rivaling, and often surpassing, the understanding many biology graduates leave college with.
There’s no dumbing down, no memorization for its own sake. Just clear, honest explanations, respect for your intelligence, and a journey designed to be challenging yet manageable—with plain language, helpful analogies, and a little humor along the way.
AI can give you facts. This course will help you make sense of them—and rediscover what it means to learn deeply, as a human.
