An example of metaphor in popular science writing:
"The problem is we are setting up easy antibiotic assault courses all over the place by not finishing a course of antibiotics, or taking them unnecessarily providing a perfect training ground for bacteria to become resistant by exposing them to antibiotics again and again until some of them adapt instead of dying."
