It is. I have their whole catalogue, and have donated some to various high schools too. The HHMI is pretty big too, and they're one of the wealthiest philanthropic organizations in the world, with an endowment of 17.5 billion dollars.

You didn't order "The Science of Fat" ? For shame. It's one of their better ones :P

Mine only came in a box.

Curious, which ones did you order?

Also, be sure to donate the extra ones that you have to people that might need it.

I ordered every single one It was still a small box, though... No need for a gigantic bag.. Lol

Making Your Mind: Molecules, Motion, and Memory

DVD

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? In four presentations, Dr. Thomas M. Jessell and Dr. Eric R. Kandel help us puzzle out how the brain is organized, how it develops, how it controls behavior, and how it stores memory.

This DVD set includes detailed chapter search by scientific topic; direct access to animations; English subtitles; interviews with the speakers; special features on synaptic function and animal locomotion; a discussion about neurobiology and mental illness; and a story on Alzheimer mice from NOVA scienceNOW.

Presented at HHMI's 2008 Holiday Lectures on Science. Two discs, lecture time approx. 240 min.
