Hi everyone. I’ve just come across a series of specialized, recorded webinars on textile science developed by the American Association of Textile Chemists & Colorists (AATCC). You can listen to the introduction (outline) free of charge. The registration fee for a webinar is $149 for nonmembers and $99 for members to listen to the whole webinar. The speakers are experts in their fields.  See http://www.aatcc.org/events/online/index.htm

( If anyone is familiar with other textile organizations presenting such recorded webinars please let us all know! Thanks!)
