IGNORING DIVERSITY HAS COSTS. “It no longer seems heretical to assert that our long-lasting and prevailing focus on a handful of animal model systems has been too reductionist. We will not understand life if we keep ignoring most of the existing diversity — there is more to learn about molecular biology, cell biology, neurobiology and developmental biology than the mouse, Drosophila or nematode worm can tell us.”
