The Encyclopedia of Life
My father sent me the initial link to The Encyclopedia of Life on Wednesday morning, and it was one of those rare things that is so incredibly relevent I’ve been wanting to tell everyone I come across about it.
E.O. Wilson’s wish from TED2007 seems to have already sprung to live (someone please let me know if the site cropped up even before he asked for it), though right now there’s only the glorious concept video you see here, as well as a few demonstration pages.
I posted a piece about EOL on Channel 10 earlier today, and I encourage all of you to start telling people. Contribute in any way you see fit, because it’s probably the most accessible and important idea in the history of biology.

This is really cool idea. Its such a basic idea I wonder why it is just now emerging. Thanks for passing it along.
I hate to make the obvious complaint, but what about cell theory, evolution, linnaean classification, DNA and the pullout method, just to name a few?
i finally just got around to checking this out. very cool.
