a: Flow cytometry ~
b: finding a needle in a haystack
What: "So to further the analogy, flow cytometry is like a way offinding a needle in a haystack where once you find it, you can also ask where that needle came from, when it wasmade, and who made it."And"Flow cytometry is a powerful way of looking for theproverbial needle in a haystack. More descriptively, it is away of taking a haystack, running it down a conveyor beltone straw at a time, and finding the needles because theyare shinier than everything else."

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
