Sounds like wonderful co-workers to have. Probably a matter of time before being stabbed in the back in such a work environment.

Is this the one you're referring too?

Had a look at the Harvard option and it looks like you need to attend some of the courses on site as part of earning the degree, so it's not 100% online if I read it correctly.

There's also been reports that Athabasca U is having funding issues at present, for those looking at this option (which is the only option in Canada for online in this field that I've found.)

The link returns a 404?

Ah that's why. It wasn't showing on mobile.

And my bad. I searched for computer science and online degrees, but it missed that thread. Whoops

Sorry. I always forget that you shouldn't wrap a link in quotes.

Saw that one and yes if i had my BA itd be perfect. Sadly Ive only got a high school

I wonder if this can be extended to other brain related illnesses such as Alzheimers.

I think the treatment will generalise better to other genetic diseases than to other brain diseases, let alone a brain disease like Alzheimer for which the cause is badly understood.
