Staring into the bathroom mirror after 14 hours of pipetting, centrifuging, and staring at cell cultures only to discover you've evolved into a reptilian humanoid. The transformation isn't even surprising. Your lab coat has become a second skin, your vocabulary reduced to chemical formulas, and your diet consists primarily of cold coffee and whatever snacks were abandoned in the break room. The mirror doesn't lie—science has finally taken its toll on your humanity. At this point, you're more comfortable with bacteria than people anyway.
