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.

Fun fact: you can email authors of papers and ask for a PDF. Authors don't get paid when you buy a paper (in fact it usually costs money to publish) and they'll generally be happy to send out their work to anyone interested.

I know someone who did that, got the paper and a whole load of infodump on the topic

Some people are extremely happy to share their obscure knowledge
