ACADEMICS

The following DVDS that were added to the media library are available in the AV Center: 

We are the Guinea Pigs:  Three Mile Island and the Catastrophe of Nuclear Power (DVD 4628) - Anit-nuclear feature documentary follows the families, scientists, and government officials immediately following the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant’s partial meltdown in Harrisburg, PA. 

The Secret Life of Twins (DVD 4632) - How accurate is the term “identical twins”? Can a cell-for-cell likeness between two siblings really exist? And what does that say about the supposed uniqueness of each human being? This program examines the genetics, physiology, and psychology behind such questions as it presents fascinating real-world case studies of identical twin development.
