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.

Doesn't have to be a conspiracy to have that effect or reflect that view

It can also skew one’s perspective on the world to know an immense amount about one specific field. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
