Did you know that we may actually taste the burn in spicy foods, or that capsaicin receptors burn to help keep us cool? And did you know that flies can taste with their wings and their feet, or that while caterpillars can taste their way back to health during parasite infection, plants can taste the caterpillars that are eating them?

Friends:
A story by Nina Hassan for the Harvard Gazette discusses the intersection of Fair Use, Copyright law and the development of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs).
