Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
MetaboLights is a data repository founded in 2012 for cross-species and cross-platform metabolomic studies that provides primary research data and meta data for metabolomic studies as well as a knowledge base for properties of individual metabolites.
The database is maintained by the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the development is funded by Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
As of July 2018, the MetaboLights browse functionality consists of 383 studies, two analytical platforms, NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.Semantic annotation is based on various ontologies and controlled vocabularies, including the BRENDA tissue ontology and the NCBI taxonomy. The metabolite structure data is linked to chemical databases, including ChemSpider, PubChem, and ChEBI.
Links to metabolite databases, however, seem to be missing.
MetaboLights consists of two components:

a repository, that enables the metabolomic community to share experimental findings, data and protocols for any metabolomic study. (Fig. 1-2)
a reference layer of individual metabolite compounds and their reference spectra including additional information on their biological roles, locations, concentrations and raw data from metabolomic experiments. (Fig. 3)
