“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death,” said the famous physicist Albert Einstein–and one of the 150-plus Nobel Prize-winning scientists who has authored a feature article in Scientific American. If you feel inspired by Einstein’s drive for lifelong learning, you may like to know you have some support in the new Professional Learning online courses offered by Scientific American and the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering.
The newest offerings are on the “Mysteries of the Universe” (taught by Don Lincoln, who wrote our May 2013 cover story, “The Inner Life of Quarks.”) and “Transportation Engineering.” You can find full details of the courses here. To learn when we have new offerings as they are added, you can also sign up for our mailing list.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science
If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.
I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.
If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.
