Post Coursera: The Addicted Brain
Just wanted to mention this to all my fellow SR folks. Starting June 23rd, Coursera has a class on the Addicted Brain. Since it's subject matter that I feel we can all relate to, I figured I'd pass it on.

Coursera offers free online classes taught by universities all over the world. While it is free, you do have to register on the site. If you finish and pass, you get a nice certificate. You actually don't have to do any of the work if you don't want to. You can just go for the info.

Happy studying!

I just signed up too. Maybe when it starts we could start up a thread discussing the week's lessons.

I think that would be a good idea!

I know I'd be interested in getting the thoughts of those I know have had experience with addiction.
