Oh yes, i'm normal, i'm just daydreaming about inhaling fungal spores and having it change me to the point where we become one and develop a symbiotic yet codependent relationship with each other.

Let me show yall what Sid the science kid taught me 😋

Fun fact: obelisks, a new life form discovered in 2024, are viroid-like elements made of entirely novel RNA sequences. They are a distinct phylogenetic group, however scientists have yet to find a shared ancestry with another life form. Obelisks appeared in about 10% of the human microbiome examined by the Stanford University team, but their genetic sequences are very small, which might be the reason why we didn't notice them before.

What does the bailiff say in the bacterial courtroom when the virulent phage enters?

"All lyse."

Newly formed cancer cell: oh boy! I can’t wait to see the world and maybe multiply a bit

My immune system: I’m boutta put the POP 🔫💥 in apoptosis

(on a date with my bacteria girlfriend) what’s wrong babe? you’ve barely touched your agar

[intrinsically-disordered-proxein]

still amazes me that scientists were just like what if we shot cells with dna coated mini bullets really really hard to insert that dna into the genome. and somehow that fucking worked

Uhm, waiter? There's a hair in my primordial soup :(

[a-meh]

[er-cryptid]

ohhhh so that's what I have

bitches love me for my methicillin resistance and my can-do attitude

Is O2 just Coffee for Bacteria?

So correct me if I'm wrong but bacteria can either be:

Aerobic: dont even TALK to me without my morning O2

Facultative: Hmm yes, I would like some O2. Oh! You're all out? Well that's okay.

Aerotolerant: Wait, what's O2?

Microaerophilic: My mom said I can have some O2, so I'll only take it slowly.

Obligate Anaerobe: STAY BACK YOU FILTHY CHEMICAL!!

Man I love small classes. My microbiology class has only 13 students on a day of perfect attendance. I get to have my own microscope for labs.

Never washing my water bottle in an effort to force new strains of bacteria to evolve

[chronically-izzzzle]

My microbiology notebook is a colorful place. And my Anatomy/physiology notes are filled with sperm wizards and aliens. This is what happens when my pain meds wear off on the middle of lecture and my joints start to scream!
