A great post on Scienceblogs on the Beagle Project. What are you waiting for? Send them some money!
I first saw about this on Pharyngula
the other day and I think it is a majestic idea! A group of Brits are
trying to build a replica of HMS "Beagle" and, on the Darwin
Bicentennial in 2009, sail around the world following the exact path
Charles Darwin made on his historic voyage. Have scientists,
journalists and, yes, bloggers, on board who will do research, take
pictures and videos, and write their ship-logs for everyone to read (if
a ship-log is on a blog, is it called shlog?). Stop at every port and
promote evolution!
Most definitely take your time to check out their website and blog to learn more about the project.
They’ll have wi-fi on the ship….More
