Mochyn pointed me at these.

I'm just starting on one, but thought they might be of interest to someone else.

They're free, fairly low impact, at 3-4 hours a week, and appear to be of high quality. Time will tell...

Two or three that look quite interesting. Not a huge time commitment either.

I'm on the penultimate week of England in the time of Richard III and week one of the forensic science one. Both very interesting: the former is full of interesting students and their comments are providing some excellent links.

There a common thread there. Been digging around any car parks lately?

I've signed up for the introduction to forensics. I was went for a job interview for scenes of crime many, many years ago.
