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.

No, it's "biologically."

No, my point with "functionally" is that it can be killed.

Biological immortality is a very specific concept indicating an absence of aging and the absence of an increase in expected mortality along with age.

I just mean that something can still eat it. This is an easy concept to understand if you're not focused on correcting people needlessly.

I was just being a smartass, but I appreciate your commitment to clear communication.
