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.

Fuck goddammit this is the worst thing for people with imposter syndrome to see. This is fucking insidious. Hilarious but insidious.

I would be so devastated if I told a coworker that I had imposter syndrome and they were like, "wait, you think that we think you're good at your job?"

My boss told me himself that I probably have impostor syndrome. Ever since then, I lose sleep wondering how much he regrets saying that. By now, he surely realises that I actually am an impostor, but our labour laws are too good and he can't fire me.

Well that's a big relief
