This document discusses techniques for presenting with analogy and metaphor. It provides examples of metaphors used in science, such as referring to cells as "monk's cells" or a "honeycomb cell." It also presents cells as an analogy to a city with different cell structures and functions mapped to parts of a city. The document encourages chunking presentation topics and provides examples of topics that could benefit from being chunked down, such as CO2 emissions or Shakespeare's use of the third person. It reviews previous sessions on structuring presentations, using analogy and metaphor, and technical vocabulary differences between presentations and papers.

6. Metaphors in Science
The Cell
The word cell comes from the Latin cellula,
meaning "a small room". The descriptive term
for the smallest living biological structure was
coined by Robert Hooke in a book he
published in 1665 when he compared the cork
cells he saw through his microscope to the
small rooms monks lived in.
"... I could exceedingly plainly perceive it to be all perforated and
porous, much like a Honey-comb, but that the pores of it were not regular
[..] these pores, or cells, [..] were indeed the first microscopical pores
I ever saw, and perhaps, that were ever seen, for I had not met with any
Writer or Person, that had made any mention of them before this. . ." –
Robert Hooke describing his observations on a thin slice of cork.

function
• Construction Site: ribosome - builds new structures
• Transport Company: endoplasmic reticulum - carries
materials from place to place
• Power Plant: mitochondrion - produces power
• Food Processing Plant: chloroplast - produces food
• Waste Disposal Plant: lysosome - disposes of waste
• City Hall: nucleus - controls rest of cell
• Storage Tanks: vacuole - stores food and water
• Gate: cell wall or cell membrane - controls what enters
and leaves cell city
