CIPRES Outreach

Phylogenetics Resources for Educators

CIPRES has sponsored (or co-sponsored) the following three teaching modules, freely available for use by educators.  The only thing we ask is that you credit NSF and CIPRES.  We are very interested in responding to the needs of the education community, indeed we sponsored a recent study investigating teaching with the tree of life.  One of the students who conducted that study has also prepared a useful review of issues in visualizing the tree of life.  We would value feedback on any of these exercises, or suggestions of further resources needed.
