Dàjiā hǎo!

A topic I am interested in for a future lesson would be a discussion of scientific terms.  I am a microbiologist and would love to be able to converse in my area of expertise or any science in Chinese!  Other topics I would be interested in would be gardening terms and popular Chinese TV programs.  Xièxie!

FWIW, Cpod has plenty of lessons that address the themes around popular TV programs.  If love, marriage, affairs, murder, popularity contests and other daytime/primetime TV content is of interest, then you need only search on Cpod's site to access the dozens/hundreds of lessons around that.  If you want actual lessons by TV program name (like Supergirl from a few years back), then you won't find too much. 

I'm not a microbiologist, but I would love to get some detailed terminology around that.  There definitely could be more content for specific-interest terms of art on this site.

Hmmm, I don't remember any lessons on microbiology. There was one installment of the "Saved by the Gong" series on cutting up a frog (high school biology class, I guess.)

Try searching "science" or other terms in the search box.
