The bacterial drama nobody asked for but everyone in the lab needs! Left side: E. coli desperately protesting its fate as a genetic workhorse. Right side: Smug scientist applying heat shock at precisely 42°C, knowing full well those bacterial membranes are about to become more permeable than a grad student's coffee filter. The bacteria thinks it has rights? That's adorable. Those plasmids are going in whether it likes it or not—just another day of forcing foreign DNA into unsuspecting microorganisms for science. Bacterial consent was never on the curriculum!
