The Most Scrutinized Worm In Scientific History

The Most Scrutinized Worm In Scientific History
The microscopic worm C. elegans has no idea it's the most stalked organism in scientific history. With exactly 959 cells and a completely mapped genome, this poor transparent nematode can't take a single wiggle without some grad student documenting it for their dissertation. Meanwhile, computational biologists are over here building molecular simulations like they're playing The Sims: Worm Edition with RTX graphics turned all the way up. "Let's track every atom in this creature's body!" Sure, because that's totally necessary and not at all overkill for something that's basically a living tube with digestive juices.

Engineering Jobs Disguised As Video Games

Engineering Jobs Disguised As Video Games
Ever spent 12 hours mining virtual resources in Satisfactory only to realize you're basically doing industrial engineering? These games have us calculating efficiency ratios, optimizing resource extraction, and designing automated systems—basically an engineering degree without the student loans! 🔧 Games like Astroneer, Factorio, and Satisfactory trick us into doing complex resource management and system design while we think we're just having fun. You're not playing—you're literally building automated factories and solving logistical nightmares that engineering professionals get paid big bucks for! Next time someone asks about your career plans, just tell them you're getting hands-on experience in materials processing and industrial automation... at night... in your pajamas.
