Just curious, but how interested would you (or others) be in a distilled introduction / survey of molecular biology? I've been thinking of writing or putting together some material at a somewhat higher level than, say, Khan Academy. No problem sets, just a fast and hard "this is why". Interested persons will challenge themselves, independently research, and put things together if they want deeper knowledge.

I've always felt that I could condense an entire two semester of cell phys/molec bio into a three hour video or 20-30 page article. I think the mind is surprisingly adept at filling in the holes...

Not saying that I have the talent to do this well. Is it something I should pursue?

This would be fascinating. It would be great if you did this.
