Meme Panel 1: "biologists will be like this is a very simplified diagram of a mammalian cell", followed by a complicated pic showing all the various aspects of a cell, numbered and with detailed labels Panel 2: "chemists will be like this is a molecule", followed by the structure of n-butane, ie: four points connected by three lines, ie: basically a zig-zag with 120-degree angles

Federal agents are not to be trusted under basically any circumstance - so we got that going for us.
VSU fired tenured professors with no justification, no accusation of wrong doing, and no due process. VSU attempted to coerce them into signing a retirement package, then escorted them to their car without being able to get their stuff and told them they’d be arrested if they come back.
