Some discoveries produce a Eureka moment. The discovery of the HOX code, for example, revealed deep and surprising evolutionary conservation of the molecular mechanisms that pattern the bodies of animals as diverse as flies and humans. Other discoveries produce years or decades of head-scratching before their significance becomes evident. Mendel’s rules of inheritance come to mind. If you are grappling with perplexing results, take heart.
