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.

I am sure many of you know, but Dr. Hanks at UI is Tom Hank's brother... may have something to do with the privacy.

Every university needs a cool bug guy. And no matter what discipline you're in, your college experience will be better for knowing them. Kind of like the groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy, Boothby
