Listen to lecture note readings of scientific concepts from college-level courses while you sleep. From microbiology to astrophysics, you are sure to find a topic to learn about as you snooze. I used to record myself reading my college lecture notes as a way to study. I would play the recordings as I went to bed, when I brushed my teeth, while driving, and while walking between classes. I am now sharing those recordings to help others study for their classes, fall asleep, or even just learn a new topic.

Fall Asleep to Microbiology | A Perspective on Maintaining Healthy Living Conditions for Astronauts

Discover life aboard the ISS from a microbiology perspective. Originally written as a topic paper for a college-level microbiology class, this episode explores how naturally occurring bacteria can be regulated on spacecraft to improve the quality of life for astronauts onboard.

Read in a soothing human voice.
