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.

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

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

This is lended to by the fact that in children's books and schools in the USA Edison was portrayed as some magical fictional character who tied a key to a kite to invent electricity.

That story is associated with Benjamin Franklin.

You made this comment after the edit, which is kind of weird

I did not. Maybe there was a delay due to federation stuff making it seem like that. Or maybe you edited it after I loaded the page but before I posted.
