Plastic Surgery Is Like Sculpture
a: Plastic surgery ~
b: sculpture
What: "The plastic surgeon has to have a good eye and he has to be very compulsive. Skill and judgment come with experience. Plastic surgery is like sculpture; it requires meticulous attention to detail and as much time as necessary to get the best possible result. So you will never be rushed through surgery. I don't do more than the three operations in one day for this reason."

a: The telomere ~
b: a cellular clock
What: "The telomere is like a cellular clock, because every time a cell divides, the telomere shortens. After a cell has grown and divided a few dozen times, the telomeres turn on an alarm system that prevents further division. If this clock doesn't function right, cells either end up with damaged chromosomes or they become "immortal" and continue dividing endlessly -- either way it's bad news and leads to cancer or disease."
