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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

wait...it's 2024 and 1995 was 29 years ago...

I meant this more as a thing that happened to me, rather than ain direct reference to the post.

I had a super cool idea the other day, but of course it's been patented and not explored furtherp

If it's an old patent, chances are it's expired and free to use now.
