This may have local foodie implications

or not. Ferran Adria, the head chef of El Bulli, one of the top Michelin 3-star restaurants globally, will apparently be teaching culinary physics at Harvard University this fall. I've heard a little bit about Harvard, the school is supposed to be OK, but maybe this will get them a few more students.
My foodie friends, I suspect this might be the Harvard course you've been wanting to try.

I will totally help you take this.

Wow, culinary physics sounds like the best idea for a course *ever.*

Oh, wow, that sounds fabulous.

Given that it's a regular undergrad course, I bet it'll be hard for someone without Harvard affiliation already to take the course....

As someone who works at Harvard, I've got one word for ya:



AUDITING....


Yes, it's allowed by people not enrolled in undergrad. You do have to register but you don't have to actually be an enrolled full time student.

Ooh, I hadn't thought that they'd allow that for some random local person. Thanks.

And now I'm gonna be keepin' tabs on the course until it passes through the reg system and gets assigned to a location. Because I'll want to figure out who's recording it and what I can do to get copies of the recordings for myself and some of my friends....
