Using Microbes To Stretch the Metaphor a Bit Too Far

OK, we like protection, we like umbrellas to protect us, we like the metaphor of the "umbrella"...but this "UMBRELLA" project has gone a step too far. According to a report from the JuraForum, researchers at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena have developed the "UMBRELLA" project for remediating soils containing heavy metals with a recipe based on on the kind of contamination and the conditions on the site. So where does "UMBRELLA" come from? From: "Using MicroBes for the REgulation of heavy metaL mobiLity at ecosystem and landscape scAle" -- I guess that works better than ""Using Microbes for the Regulation of Heavy Meta Mobility at Ecosystem and Landscape Scale" (UMRHMMELS), but not by much!
