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.

'a'ā or pāhoehoe?

Imagine the terminology if instead of it coming from the study of the Hawaiian volcano system, it came from the Icelandic one.
Then we'd be memorizing words like herliaphongoffjlyur.

'a'ā looks like it would fizz like pop rocks.

It's gotta be pahoehoe (the one that looks like honey being stirred)
