What would Plato say about systems biology? In his Allegory of the Cave, prisoners can only see shadows on a wall and so they have a distorted reality. Also our measurements of genes, RNAs, proteins & metabolites are the shadows, not the reality of the complex biological systems.

Bluesky, new horizons. Curious: why scientists rarely get to capture the artistic aspect of what their science is telling? Picture an artist, who does solid research but to tell society, what the science is «intuitively» telling. The audience of science is science itself: little to «feel» for all
