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.

Elusive*, you'll probably try to correct me and say that you meant "illusive" but that's not the right use-case for it anyway.

Here we see the illusive pedant in its natural habitat

It's not pedantry to point out your word choice was so completely wrong. Illusive is descriptive of things that are illusions (a mirage is illusive water); elusive is descriptive of something that is hard to find
