Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist

a must for every Science Phd student and the ppl that love us!!!
I am a 5th yr Ph.D. student in Inorganic Chemistry and Materials Engineering...and this movie did a really good job of not only humanizing Grad students like me, but really gave a feel for how hard it is to be in these sorts of programs. Not to mention, how much we depend on good luck , and the support of others to get thru...I highly recommend this movie for the families of Phd students who love us but don't understand why we work 16-18 hr days for yrs but cant tell you why or when we will graduate. I'm glad someone took the time to tell our frustrating story.

Inspirational as well as educational
Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist is an award-winning documentary following the lives three biology graduate students pursuing a PhD and success in their chosen field. All three are competing in a worldwide race to be the first to publish their discoveries; their challenge is to figure out the structure and mechanism of AMPK, a protein involved in the burning and storage of fat. An extraordinary chronicle of years of hard work, packed with special features and even a discussion guide in .pdf format, Naturally Obsessed is inspirational as well as educational, and highly recommended. 60 minutes, widescreen.

teacher liked it students did not
I had hoped this video would inspire my high school science students. It was boring to most of them. I liked it myself.
