  Interdisciplinary research has become an increasingly important focus in academia in recent years. Although collaboration across disparate fields instigates new configurations of knowledge and practice, it can also lead to confusion and misunderstanding. The Metaphors and Misunderstandings Symposium addresses some of the issues that emerge in communication across disciplines – with specific reference to the intersection of the life sciences with the fine arts and the humanities. How do metaphors of language and practice within art, biology, philosophy and ethics affect or infect the cross-over of the arts and sciences?
