    A high speed overview of what ecology is, I still feel like I have learned a lot. I enjoyed the presentation; I think when you run through an entire field of science, with so much depressing information in it, a little humor is more than welcome.
  • Agradeço pelo curso e pelo seu conteúdo impecável. Muito obrigado mesmo pelo tema, acredito ser muito necessário nos dias de hoje, principalmente com tudo que está acontecendo no mundo.... Sou grato pelo aprendizado de tudo o que o curso ofereceu.... coisas que eu não fazia ideia de que eu precisava tanto saber. Obrigado.
