Introduction
to the Log From the Sea of Cortez - A more poetic take on being a
marine biologist - by Ed Ricketts, my hero

Evolution Links

of Paleontology - From my alma mater - a really good introduction
to some of the basics of evolution
The Tree of Life -
This is an admirable project to synthesize the best HISTORY OF LIFE
that experts in each field can put together
Talk Origins.org - This page
is the result of an online debate between evolutionists and
creationists. Any question you ever had about evolution is
probably answered in depth here.
ENSI/SENSI Web - A
great site for lesson plans to teach evolution and the nature of
science effectively.
The
Mesquite Project - For the more technical minded, I find Mesquite
to be a great modular software for exploring methods in inferring
species and population history.

Kenya with. Kind of a mini Peace Corps experience.
