…but the Tree of Life Project is probably the coolest thing to come around in some time.
And I say biter because, not that anyone noticed but it’s the head story on UT’s homepage.
Basically it’s the biggest and most complete biology encyclopedia, with over 9,000 biologists contributing. The links are placed hierarchically in “the form of the evolutionary tree of life,” and also placed at the fingertips that indirectly connect to inquiring minds. Information is even accepted from “amateurs,” and the future of the project aims to have a creative commons area where anyone can upload media.
Who would have thought the tree of life would end up online?
