I took this course in 2013 and found it immensely interesting and useful. The teachers are engaging, the tutors invaluable, the platform frustrating...ok, so it wasn't perfect, but it was good enough that I'm going again. (Maybe the discussion platform has improved since then.) It's free, although now they invite donations. The class starts June 17.

Thanks, Smithy, for better or for worse I signed up.  I have very much enjoyed the Harvard science and cooking public lectures.

They've also put the course resources out as an e-book in this iteration.

I signed up AND bought the book. Thank you Smithy and nickrey.

Edited because I did not think that either Smithy or nickrey would appreciate being called sweetie! Whew. Glad I caught that.
