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.

Next time you open excel go to the data tab and look at all the things it can do.

It really shouldn't do those things, but it can.
