A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Most people don't live near hordes and hordes of hungry bears and wolves, and those that do are typically prepared to defend themselves or flee. Plants can do neither.
Plants have an amazing variety of ways to defend themselves. Thorns. Chemical warfare. Being really fucking big.
You think plants spent 1.2 billion years on earth and didnt adapt to predation?
Imagine losing the genetic lottery so bad that survival of the fittest means getting eaten and having your killer shit your reproductive material out somewhere for your line to continue.
Plenty of plants use this methods to spread their seeds tho. It's just the fruit that gets eaten not the entire plant.
