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.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

True or false, common names are confusing. Huckleberries are called huckleberries, regardless of family or genus. I wasn't confused, I was naive. Just didn't know that other plants were called huckleberries. Binomial nomenclature rocks.
