Alan Rodrigues, a biologist who reframes morphogenesis, and Amy Shyer, a developmental biologist who cultivates a “feeling for the organism,” discuss challenging misleading metaphors in biology. They explore balancing poetic conceptual thinking with grounded observation. They reflect on partnership, tolerating ambiguity, and designing playful projects to reframe persistent scientific frameworks.
