Course Offerings from James Lyons Weiler and the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge.

I will take biology of immunology

Dear Friends, 

Since we have been in a huge learning curve and have a daunting challenge ahead of us, I am pleased to inform you of learning opportunities to help increase our knowledge and credibility in negotiating truth, while building new, ethical institutions and our community. 

I am excited to begin a new class through IPAK-EDU - The Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge.

I will take an introductory class on the biology of immunology with Substacker and scientist, James Lyons Weiler.  It starts January 12, but will be recorded if you start later, and there are other offerings. 

I first heard James on a tribunal of the Organic Consumers Association, and then at the excellent conference, CovidCon21 led by Dr. Henry Ealy. I have been following James on Substack. In addition to the joy of learning something new and stimulating my brain, I expect it will help me be more effective and do more good in the world.
