Descrição: What is more, the emergent properties that arise in complex systems require biologists to be flexible in the types of measurements they use to establish useful laws, as some systems cannot be dismantled into modules with separable causal powers. Though biological research presents challenges in terms of the amount of data that have to be analyzed, the computing power now available to researchers allows them to discern patterns that might have been invisible a generation ago. [...] biologists should be able to offer policymakers better tools than the cost-benefit analysis that underlies much of current policy.
