Abstract
But is quantification possible? I am very encouraged by the reproducibility of developmental events. For example, very early development of the worm involves surprisingly complex morphological movements, yet they are precisely repeated from one embryo to the next. This may be obvious to a developmental biologist: if you don’t get everything right at the beginning, what hope do you have of building an entire worm? But it is a pleasant surprise for a biophysicist, because it makes good measurements possible.
