Of Course.....
a: San francisco ~
b: movie set
What: "San Francisco is like a movie set -- cinematic at every turn -- and every part of the city is steeped in history. There's the still hippie-feeling Haight, lively Chinatown, cafe-laden North Beach, and the Union Square shopping district"

It's Icy Mercury
a: Copper ~
b: mercury that's frozen
What: "But Cu2 is unstable because the bonding is too weak. Instead, the atoms associate into metal. But there's no directionality to their bonding and the bonds are very weak, lacking covalent character. In a sense, copper is like frozen mercury. This means that copper should easily deform--and so it does." A discussion of how the 29 electrons of copper affects its material properties.

a: Concentration ~
b: a raw jewel
What:
"A Concentration is like a raw jewel. It takes abrasion and determination to form the facets that reflect so brilliantly. It is specifically the student's personal engagement that propels the Concentration past the stereotypical and convenient responses so easily accessible at the beginning of the research. Easy and trite answers come first, but through a sustained investigation, students acquire a deeper personal, visual statement of excellence. "

a: biofilm ~
b: protective living cocoon
What:
"Antibiotics do not reduce the biofilm; they simply put it into a dormant state with a couple of bullet holes in it, so when you stop taking antibiotics, the problem returns like nothing happened. The biofilm is like a protective living cocoon, which quite frankly is an ingenious evolutionary survival trick, but only when it's being used for good, not evil."
