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.

It's also full of "networking opportunities", i.e. you spot the people that you usually only see at conferences, check in on them and then proceed to not even think about them until the next conference. As a bonus, you can also have conversations with new people who are going to ignore your follow-up emails!
