During the past 5 years
the Lingua Franca of health research and science has become PowerPoint. Most of our
current scientific knowledge has been assembled in PowerPoint lectures. Moreover the
growth of PowerPoint on the net has been astonishing. In 1994 there were few lectures, now
there are over 5 million. If we could establish a global system to make the academic
lectures freely accessible in a virtual Library of lectures we could markedly improve the
sharing of our prevention knowledge. Supercourse is the global library of lectures shared for free by
10000 faculty members from 152 countries of the world. It was originally funded by NASA
and currently funded by the National Library of Medicine, NIH, USA
