 “The launch of the Encyclopedia of Life will have a profound and
creative effect in science. It aims not only to
summarize all that we know of Earth’s life forms, but also to
accelerate the discovery of the vast array that remain unknown. This
great effort promises to lay out new directions for research in every
branch of biology.” <A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NwfGA4cxJQ" linkindex="23" set="yes">EOL Video</A></p> <P></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2008/02/encyclopedia-of.html">Edward O.
