Dropping PH525 - Data Analysis for Genomics

Yesterday I wrote that it was "extremely unlikely I [would] get a certificate" for that course.

Well, it's official: I'm dropping out of PH525 - Data Analysis for Genomics (from Harvard via edX). It's not that the material is bad in any way; I just can't commit the necessary time and attention to the course. It's too close to what I'm doing with MIT's Analytics Edge class; there's only so many hours I can do R in a week.

Besides, next week (aka "tomorrow") I start both the Epigenetics course at Melbourne University and the MongoDB Advanced Operations course at MongoDB. If I'm already struggling to watch the Harvard lectures now, I dare not think what it will be in a few days.

So, well. I'll watch for repeats (or watch the archived course in due time).
