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.

There are also technically words for 3 and 4 days from now (also 3 and 4 days ago), but I don't think they get used much.

I never learnt them and don't remember seeing them, but that's neat :)
