One of the joys of the Internet when the everyday person has access to such quality educational material

I love these better than the “crash courses” and “immunology made easy” videos

Dr. Gundling is so dynamic! I came across this completely by accident, but I’m a subscriber now.

Dr. Gundling, I'm currently studying microbiology as part of my nursing pre-requisites and I was pleasantly surprised to find you. I worked at your Chest & Allergy Clinic over a decade ago and I'm glad to see that you are as good a teacher as you are a doctor.

I’ve never been so attentive during a lecture. She needs to win awards for being an incredible and engaging educator!

I don't even know why I'm watching, I'm still in high school and I plan to be a journalist, but here I am having fun while watching a long video about immunology... An update 2 years later: i graduated from high school and followed my own path, i’m doing my best to be a great psychologist in the future. Journalism was never a part of my dream, i used to be a kid with that mindset that you should just choose what will make people proud of you and my parents always wanted me to be a journalist, but i am now studying what i really want, i wake up every day to go through all the difficulties a college student faces, but i can tell you guys that i’m happily dealing with all of them because i chose my own path. I’m just saying this because I think that many people are still trying to fit in other’s little box of expectations just to have someone being proud of you, but you know what? it feels even better when you’re the one being proud of yourself. I’m really proud of myself right now! Keep studying, be curious and learn everything you feel like learning, and last but not least: choose yourself, always. ♡

This is a very good lecture! Helped me a lot in understanding the basics of the immune system. I wanted to see what this course was about before I got to studying it in depth. I find it quite interesting <3

This is really incredible. You are a great teacher. I attended a lecture that is fundamentally the same but didn't understand much. Thanks to you now I think I got it.

Thank you very much for explaining things so clearly, that was so interesting. I can't believe that I watched the whole video and this isn't even my native language...
