HHMI (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) is offering 13 different Educational/Science Dvds HERE. The choices are:
Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory
Is there any more to mind than the brain? Does experience shape the way our brain develops? When we learn something new is our brain physically altered?
AIDS: Evolution of an Epidemic
Can AIDS be cured? Why has it been so hard to develop a vaccine against HIV? How are new medicines revolutionizing AIDS treatment?
Evolution: Fossils, Genes, and Mousetraps
Leading evolution educator Ken Miller discusses the controversy surrounding the teaching of evolution, presents compelling evidence for evolution and reasons why “intelligent design” is not scientific.
Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning, and Regeneration
What are embryonic stem cells? Why are they potent? How do they differ from adult stem cells? Are embryonic development and regeneration intimately connected?
Evolution: Constant Change and Common Threads
How has the amazing diversity of plants and animals evolved? What can fossils, butterflies, and stickleback fish tell us about the deep common ancestry of all living forms?
Science of Fat
Scientists are unraveling the mechanisms that dictate how the brain and body regulate weight.
Learning from Patients: The Science of Medicine
Biomedical scientists can gain essential insights from patients that help move their research in new directions
Scanning Life’s Matrix: Genes, Proteins, and Small Molecules
The sequencing of the human genome has set the stage for a vast revolution in the biomedical sciences.
Genes and Gender
The process of becoming a male or a female is complex and intricate.
Clockwork Genes: Discoveries in Biological Time
Researchers are making groundbreaking discoveries in understanding the molecular basis of circadian clocks
2000 and Beyond: Confronting the Microbe Menace
Sophisticated new techniques in molecular biology are allowing scientists to understand, combat, and prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
Of Hearts and Hypertension: Blazing Genetic Trails
Scientists are gaining a greater understanding of the genetic and molecular bases of cardiovascular diseases
The Double Life of RNA
RNA can be much more than a passive transmitter of genetic information
Thanks SD!
