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.

"Fewer" for things that are countable.

I know language changes etc etc but it’s a hill I’m prepared to die on.

It's kinda funny, the hills people choose. I'm over here, stuck defending the original meaning of literally. Best of luck to you, fellow curmudgeon. :-)

Oh I’ve got your back in that too. Plus: unique and jealous / envious.
