Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

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

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

You are correct. I had a brain fart. There are shells and the like, but you won't come across the next big T-Rex find.
