Hi Cathal I can see your point that MOOCs are probably not well suited to biology where getting your hands "wet" really matters but more to math and computing. I do have access to our biohacklab downstairs, but the trouble is that I cannot practice what I have learned as it is far above the level of what we are currently capable of in our lab. Next week we're going to do our first miniprep which I would love to get some hands-on experience of but it is still a far cry from the stuff I'm learning in virology. There is a huge split between theory and practice with biology MOOCs it seems. I was hoping to use the hacklab as a kind of makeshift university to learn molecular biology but I'm not sure how far I can go down this route.
