a: Communism ~
b: a biological cell

What: "They also forgot to mention, communism is 100% proven to work every single day, but ONLY on a small scale.

a: biochemist ~
b: an artist

What:

"I would like to thank Charles B. for showing me some of the lesser-known treasures of Los Angeles. He is a tremendously creative organic-biochemist and photographer. I was quite surprised to discover that a biochemist is like an artist in his/her approach to the creative process in manufacturing lifesaving drugs. There may be more complicated processes to be found in industry, but to my mind, none seem as sensitive and prone to failure as organic biochemistry."
