The Howard Hughes Medical Institute is really loaded, and can afford to give away free of charge dvds of their annual science lectures to anyone who wishes to fill out an order. There’s not even a shipping charge, even to international orders. These are great for high schools and libraries, so I suggest that you guys order x3 of each and donate the extras.
In terms of quality, the production values are fantastic. The content may be a little introductory too (hense why they’d be great for high schools). Below are some of the dvds that they offer:
Evolution: Fossils, Genes and Mousetraps (a lecture by Ken Miller)
Evolution: Constant Changes and Common Threads (four lectures on them mechanisms of evolution, and a discussion on whether evolution and religion are compatible).
The Double Life of RNA
The Science of Fat
AIDS: The Evolution of a Pandemic
Potent Biology: Stem Cells, Cloning and Regeneration
Scanning Life’s Matrix - Genes, Proteins and Small Molecules
Here’s the link to their catalogue.
You guys should try to spread this link around as much as possible.
