Young's modulus Memes

Young's modulus (E) measures a material's elasticity. Students' brains? Not so elastic after procrastinating all semester. Those bloodshot eyes represent the classic "deadline-induced stress response" we see in lab specimens—I mean, students. The neurochemical cocktail of panic-induced adrenaline and dopamine is actually a fascinating example of how humans evolved to respond to threats, except now the threat is a physics final rather than a predator. The difference? Predators are sometimes merciful.
