The Noise Of A Cell......
a: Proteomics ~
b: listening in to the wifi traffic
What: "Here's one I'll add, based upon proteins as a conversation of the state of your body: proteomics is like listening in to the wifi traffic that's going on and getting access to someone's Facebook feed."

Measuring The Cell As It Lives.....
a: Proteomics ~
b: a molecule-o-meter
What: "To understand proteomics, think of proteins like the circuitry inside a cell. A specific cancer could burn out one particular protein circuit in one patient and an entirely different protein circuit in another because of variations within the patients' cell makeup. Proteomics is like a molecule-o-meter, taking a snapshot of the cell's circuitry to determine which protein circuits are burned out, or defective, as a result of that cancer."

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.
