First I reported that Palaeos was lost, and then that it might be found, but now it looks like we can safely say it is being reborn.

If you've got some phylogenetic or palaeontological expertise, you might want to consider joining the Palaeos team and helping out with this big project.

During the outage, I got a bunch of questions about the latest news coming
out of the big financial disasters. A major report came out about the failure
of Lehman Brothers, and one…
Born again?
Here is a video "Powers of Ten" that gives a graphic explanation of extremely large and extremely small distances.

Hooray, it's up!
Now to get started on the art and articles.
Palaeos.org is still going strong, and the various pieces are slowly beginning to click into place. However, we still have only a few serious contributors, and a project of this size requires many more to become all that we hope it will be. So come one, come all to www.palaeos.org, and feel free to muck in and help us build it!
