Welcome to the botanical thunderdome! Two grad students enter, one immunology argument leaves! 🌱💪

What we're witnessing here is the most passionate plant immunity debate since the Great Arabidopsis Controversy of 2011. Our tattooed defender is championing plant immune systems with their epigenetic memory and priming capabilities - basically plants can remember threats for their ENTIRE LIVES! Meanwhile, the mammal fan club is getting absolutely destroyed with that lupus finisher. Brutal!

Fun fact: Plants actually have this wild immune memory called "defense priming" where they can pass on warnings about pathogens to their offspring! It's like your grandma's paranoia about strangers, but scientifically validated and actually useful!
