| "Introducción a la Siembra Directa" |
| "En este curso en línea sobre agricultura nos enfocaremos en la siembra directa, usando como caso de éxito a la Argentina. Lasiembra directaes el elemento central de lo que hoy en día se denomina la agricultura de conservación. Esta manera de siembra es una técnica de cultivo en la cual no se altera el suelo mediante el arado, ofreciendo grandes beneficios para la tierra y para el agricultor. Este curso de agricultura proporciona los conocimientos necesarios para implementar siembra directa de forma exitosa, proporcionando las ventajas y desventajas para el agricultor en el momento de usar este tipo de siembra. Evolución de la siembra directa -Crecimiento del área de sembrado y producción En los últimos quince años, gracias a la implementación de lasiembra directay los avances enbiotecnología, Argentina, ha experimentado un gran crecimiento tanto en su producción como un su área cultivable, generando nuevos récords en la producción, esto significó que en áreas que anteriormente no eran arables, con la siembra directa se implantaron cultivos en forma exitosa, áreas que eran estrictamente ganaderas pasaron a ser de alta producción de granos, lo que ocurrió fue un desplazamiento de la frontera ganadera disminuyendo la cantidad de superficie pero manteniendo el stock, calidad y eficiencia de la carne argentina.No se sacrificó la ganadería por la agricultura, en cambio se encontró la mejor forma de ser eficiente en los dos sectores. -Caracterización del sistema productivo de granos y alimentos en Argentina En el caso Argentino las consecuencias de los sistemas productivos bajo labranza que se mantuvieron por décadas trajeron la degradación de la integridad biológica y ecológica de sistema suelo. Entre los daños más notables se destacan las erosiones hídricas y eólicas causadas por el arrastre de partículas en suspensión y su efecto en la contaminación de cursos de agua entre otros fenómenos. En Argentina 40 años de labranza hicieron perder en promedio el 2% de la materia orgánica de sus suelos llevándose el 50 % de su actividad potencial, si a estas pérdidas le asignamos los valores actuales de los nutrientes que se van del suelo, Argentina estaría perdiendo US$ 103620 millones de dólares esto es, dinero que ya el país debe aportar en forma de fertilizante para mantener la productividad del suelo. La siembra directa se fundamenta en: Ausencia de laboreo Cobertura permanente del suelo con residuo Captura de Carbono Economía del agua *Reducción de insumos"

| "Dinosaurios de la Patagonia" |
| "Gran parte de la población, sobre todo los más pequeños, presenta un gran interés por los dinosaurios. Los más antiguos del mundo se han encontrado en rocas de aproximadamente 240 millones de años en Argentina en las provincias de La Rioja y San Juan. La paleontología es la ciencia que se encarga de estudiar el pasado de la vida en nuestro planeta por medio del análisis de los fósiles, esta ciencia se encarga de estudiar los dinosaurios. Los dinosaurios fueron los vertebrados dominantes en la tierra firme desde su aparición hasta hace unos 66 millones de años, cuando ocurrió la extinción de los dinosaurios. Por suerte, uno de sus linajes sobrevivió y comparte con nosotros los parques y los campos. Estos dinosaurios vivientes son las aves. Una parte muy importante de la historia de los dinosaurios se ha escrito en la Patagonia. En sus afloramientos, se han encontrado dinosaurios gigantes, como el Argentinosaurus, el Giganotosaurus o el Patagotitan. También dinosaurios con cuernos, como el Carnotaurus, u otros que aún conservan en su interior parte de lo que comieron antes de morir, como el Isaberrysaura. Estos dinosaurios argentinos, junto a muchos otros encontrados en la Patagonia, ofrecen una visión única de la vida del Triásico, Jurásico y Cretácico en el Hemisferio Sur. En este curso en línea, junto al Dr. Rodolfo Coria, Investigador Independiente de CONICET y Director del Museo Carmen Funes de Plaza Huincul, se profundizará en conceptos tan importantes en paleontología como las relaciones de parentesco entre dinosaurios, su clasificación o cómo se nomina un nuevo dinosaurio. Además, este curso de ciencias naturales se relatará desde un marco histórico el trabajo en la Patagonia de varios paleontólogos pioneros como Ameghino, Casamiquela o Bonaparte desde fines del siglo XIX hasta la actualidad."

| "Introducción a las ondas gravitacionales" |
| "En este curso conocerás sobre las ondas gravitacionales de forma fácil y enseñado por una experta del proyecto LIGO; Gabriela González. Algunos de los temas que cubriremos: • Los astrónomos modernos combinan datos de múltiples tipos de telescopios para crear imágenes compuestas de objetos en el espacio. • Los agujeros negros son por definición imposibles de observar directamente usando telescopios de luz, ya que ninguna luz puede escapar de su extrema gravedad. • La única manera de estudiar los agujeros negros usando telescopios de luz es observar cualquier gas y polvo que caiga en ellos. Esto puede revelar información sobre un agujero, como la frecuencia con la que gira alrededor de su eje. Comprensión de la gravedad. • En el siglo XVII, Isaac Newton propuso una ley universal de gravitación que concebía la gravedad como una fuerza entre dos masas (m1m1 y m2m2) separadas por una distancia rr según la ecuación: F = Gm1m2r2F = Gm1m2r2 • La teoría de Newton es muy exacta para la mayoría de las situaciones y es ampliamente utilizada hoy en día. Sin embargo, Newton estaba preocupado por la acción a distancia, quería entender cómo dos masas se conocen y se influyen mutuamente sin enviar ninguna señal. • Este problema no se resolvió hasta que Albert Einstein propuso la relatividad general en 1916. En su nueva concepción la gravedad no es una fuerza, sino la geometría del espacio-tiempo. Los objetos masivos causan que el espacio-tiempo se curve, y esta curvatura es lo que influye en el movimiento de otros objetos en el espacio-tiempo. El mensajero gravitacional de Newton resultó ser el espacio-tiempo en sí. • Einstein se dio cuenta de que objetos masivos (no esféricamente simétricos) sometidos a aceleración u oscilación producirían distorsiones que se extenderían a través del espacio-tiempo como ondulaciones en un estanque. Estas ondulaciones se llaman ondas gravitacionales. • Al igual que las ondas electromagnéticas, las ondas gravitatorias transportan energía y tienen amplitudes (llamadas tensión para las ondas gravitacionales) y frecuencias asociadas con ellas. Las ondas gravitatorias se representan a menudo como formas de onda, que demuestran su frecuencia y amplitud mientras que cambian con el tiempo. • Las ondas gravitacionales interactúan muy débilmente con la materia, pasando por todo esencialmente sin cambios. Esto es muy útil para la astronomía porque significa que cualquier señal detectada permanece prácticamente inalterada desde cuando se generó en la fuente."

| "En este curso en línea aprenderás sobre el reloj y el ritmo biológico, y su impacto en nuestra salud y en nuestro diario vivir. El reloj biológico es la respuesta del cuerpo humano (fisiología) a diferentes etapas del día, este reloj biológico es aquel que le dice al cuerpo que debe estar despierto durante el día y descansar en la noche. Losritmos biológicoshan surgido en respuesta ala alternancia entre el día y la noche, y las estaciones. La cronobiología es la ciencia que estudia los ritmos biológicos; los cambios de nuestro reloj. Este curso en línea te ayudará a conocer tu reloj biológico y el impacto que los factores externos tienen en él, esto es importante ya que puede ayudarte a mejorar tu calidad de vida. Acaso¿no han sentido alguna vez que poseemos un reloj interno, que nos despierta por la mañana antes que suene el despertador?,¿o que nos avisa cuando sentimos apetito, y descubrimos que ya es hora de almorzar?,¿o al sentirnos cansados, tarde en la noche, percibimos que necesitamos ir a dormir? Estas y muchas otras actividades que realizamos a diario; sueño, apetito, actividad/reposo, estudio, trabajo, etc., como así también procesos biológicos que ocurren en nuestro organismo; producción de hormonas, temperatura corporal, metabolismo, cambian rítmicamente a lo largo del día. Estos cambios constituyen los ritmos biológicos y aquellos que presentan un periodo cercano a las 24 horas se denominan“circadianos”(del latín, circa: cercano, diano: día). Losritmos biológicoshan surgido en respuesta a los cambios cíclicos del medio ambiente que nos rodea: la alternancia día/noche, las estaciones, es por esto que los organismos vivos contamos con un sistema denominado sistema o ritmo circadiano que permite medir el tiempo internamente, adaptarnos a tales cambios ambientales que ocurren a lo largo del día, y anticiparnos a la llegada de los mismos. Efectivamente losrelojes biológicosse encuentran distribuidos a lo largo de todo el organismo. Estos relojes internos regulan diversas funciones fisiológicas y conductuales con un periodo cercano a las 24 horas pero no exactamente de 24 horas, por eso se hace necesario ajustarlos diariamente a través de señales externas del medio ambiente: luz, temperatura, alimentación, etc. La luz constituye la señal externa más potente para sincronizar el reloj central ubicado en el cerebro. Una vez sincronizado este reloj, envía señales al resto del organismo para coordinar las actividades de forma rítmica."

| "Tangible Things: Discovering History Through Artworks, Artifacts, Scientific Specimens, and the Stuff Around You" |
| "Have you ever wondered about how museum, library, and other kinds of historical or scientific collections all come together? Or how and why curators, historians, archivists, and preservationists do what they do? In Tangible Things , you will discover how material objects have shaped academic disciplines and reinforced or challenged boundaries between people. This course will draw on some of the most fascinating items housed at Harvard University, highlighting several to give you a sense of the power of learning through tangible things. By “stepping onto” the storied campus, you and your fellow learners can explore Harvard’s astonishing array of tangible things—books and manuscripts, art works, scientific specimens, ethnographic artifacts, and historical relics of all sorts. The University not only owns a Gutenberg bible, but it also houses in its collections Turkish sun dials, a Chinese crystal ball, a divination basket from Angola, and nineteenth-century “spirit writing” chalked on a child-sized slate. Tucked away in storage cabinets or hidden in closets and the backrooms of its museums and libraries are Henry David Thoreau’s pencil, a life mask of Abraham Lincoln, and chemicals captured from a Confederate ship. The Art Museums not only care for masterpieces of Renaissance painting but also for a silver-encrusted cup made from a coconut. The Natural History Museum not only preserves dinosaur bones and a fish robot but an intact Mexican tortilla more than a century old. In the first section of the course, we will consider how a statue, a fish, and a gingham gown have contributed to Harvard’s history, and you will learn the value of stopping to look at the things around you. In the next section, we will explore some of the ways people have brought things together into purposeful collections to preserve memory, promote commerce, and define culture. Finally, we will consider methods of rearranging objects to create new ways of thinking about nature, time, and ordinary work. Along the way, you will discover new ways of looking at, organizing, and interpreting tangible things in your own environment.

| "Linear regression is commonly used to quantify the relationship between two or more variables. It is also used to adjust for confounding. This course, part ofourProfessional Certificate Program in Data Science, covers how to implement linear regression and adjust for confounding in practice using R. In data science applications, it is very common to be interested in the relationship between two or more variables. The motivating case study we examine in this course relates to the data-driven approach used to construct baseball teams described in Moneyball. We will try to determine which measured outcomes best predict baseball runs by using linear regression. We will also examine confounding, where extraneous variables affect the relationship between two or more other variables, leading to spurious associations. Linear regression is a powerful technique for removing confounders, but it is not a magical process. It is essential to understand when it is appropriate to use, and this course will teach you when to apply this technique."

The motivation for this course is the circumstances surrounding the financial crisis of 2007-2008. Part of what caused this financial crisis was that the risk of some securities sold by financial institutions was underestimated. To begin to understand this very complicated event, we need to understand the basics of probability. We will introduce important concepts such as random variables, independence, Monte Carlo simulations, expected values, standard errors, and the Central Limit Theorem. These statistical concepts are fundamental to conducting statistical tests on data and understanding whether the data you are analyzing is likely occurring due to an experimental method or to chance. Probability theory is the mathematical foundation of statistical inference which is indispensable for analyzing data affected by chance, and thus essential for data scientists."

| "Data Science: Wrangling" |
| "In this course, part of our Professional Certificate Program in Data Science,we cover several standard steps of the data wrangling process like importing data into R, tidying data, string processing, HTML parsing, working with dates and times, and text mining. Rarely are all these wrangling steps necessary in a single analysis, but a data scientist will likely face them all at some point. Very rarely is data easily accessible in a data science project. It's more likely for the data to be in a file, a database, or extracted from documents such as web pages, tweets, or PDFs. In these cases, the first step is to import the data into R and tidy the data, using the tidyverse package. The steps that convert data from its raw form to the tidy form is called data wrangling. This process is a critical step for any data scientist. Knowing how to wrangle and clean data will enable you to make critical insights that would otherwise be hidden."

| "What Every Provider Should Know: Clinical Fundamentals" |
| "Regardless of where physicians practice they are expected to be calm, cool, and collected when confronted with undifferentiated, critically ill patients. Medical education in most countries however, focuses on approaching patients in a methodical, time intensive manner. Although this approach can be effective for certain patients and settings, it can prove disastrous during those moments when time is of the essence. The specialty of Emergency Medicine (EM) centers on rapidly sorting, assessing, and stabilizing undifferentiated patients regardless of the etiology of their condition. Designed by educational leaders in the field of EM, this course is designed to teach healthcare providers the necessary skills to recognize and manage patients with life-threatening emergencies. “What Every Provider Should Know: Clinical Fundamentals” features high quality video lectures, online case scenarios with questions, a discussion forum, and the chance to demonstrate your knowledge by testing to achieve a statement of accomplishment. A detailed syllabus is provided, which focuses on the most clinically relevant information. Lectures and materials are all online allowing students the flexibility to proceed at their own pace and schedule. Case-based discussions are initiated with a video presentation of an undifferentiated patient. Key decisions and studies are highlighted and student responses may also be posted for other course participants and faculty to review. Video discussions of the online cases with an expert clinician provide practical answers and insightful commentary. Emphasis is placed on a methodical approach to patient evaluation and the importance of time-sensitive emergency interventions. Common medical myths and pitfalls are also addressed throughout the course. This course can easily be taught to individual providers, or arranged for groups of providers or students within their hospitals, medical schools or universities.

| "Understanding how gender intersects with various cultural and social concepts is not only essential to understanding gender studies as a scientific discipline, it is also an important part of moving through and experiencing the world as a human being. Understanding gender and intersectionality can help us understand ourselves and the world and culture we live in. This course offers an excellent starting point for anyone coming to gender studies for the first time, or for those already in the field who wish to brush up on the basics through a more visual experience. The course will offer different resources in the form of literature, articles, images, audio, websites, and visual texts about gender in many different contexts. Specifically using examples from popular culture, classical literature, and history, this course will teach you how to analyze religious texts and traditions, class divisions, racial inequality, sexualities, and nationalism through a gendered lens. The course is adapted from a semester length undergraduate level course taught at the University of Iceland."
