I know tongue in cheek, but Shag does really well considering English isn't his first language. |

Just be alert!, sorry aware that subjects may have outdated data.
I was using a course on obesity for revision. As a tool it served it's purpose but it was composed 16 years ago.
I would say just use the academic courses as an insight. |

Languages, Duolingo and Memrise, lots of material on Youtube.
Podcasts, LSHTM Viral (on Covid), This Week in Virology and its sibling podcasts (on medical science)
ABC (Australia) Radio National Conversations is a fascinating conversation with someone every weekday.
Educational blogs, Science Based Medicine, the blog of This Week in Virology, The Law and Policy Blog... I could probably recommend a whole lot more, I'm such a nerd. |

When I went on furlough I had the bright idea of doing a course to keep my mind ticking over and learn something to benefit business.
I never have time under normal circumstances so thought it would be ideal.
But then I ended up volunteering so the Just 40 hour course took longer than I wanted as it was a case of an hour here and 30 minutes there and I didn't realise there was an actual exam at the end (long time since I left school) !
Just finished it and needed 80% to pass and Phew ! Just managed 87% (wish I'd got higher but it's a pass)
Worth doing and you don't realise how your mind gets used to not taking learning in and remembering it !
Good luck to anyone doing a course, if it's a first since schooldays just stick with it as it does get easier as your mind warms up
