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.

Welcome to Europe, researchers!

Lots of great choices and don't worry, you can move to France without knowing French or Denmark without knowing Danish!

This is a huge opportunity for countries who always played second fiddle in science and tech.

Never played a conquest game where you stop researchers from giving your empire a tech advantage over others.

anecdotally, I know people finishing their phds that have jobs lined up elsewhere in the world because there are no federal science job openings

the brain drain is real and self-imposed

Hello. Yes, count me too. I'm American but I have been just skipping any postings around the US. I love the people and the landcape, and I miss family dearly, but I can't do my job there, which is a shame because not many people can do what I do, especially in the US.

I mean, you're good at it and all, but posting memes doesn't really seem that specialized...

Hey Europe and Canada, anyone still looking for a scientist that just wants to do lab work? I prefer chemistry, but am happy with micro too. Just let me interpret data, please. I'm stuck somewhere where titrations are the most complex process.

If you have an Irish grandparent you can get a passport. Lots of work here and Americans are welcome.

Otherwise work visas that turn into residency aren't difficult to come by with sponsorship and it's not the kind of sponsorship that makes you a slave.

In my faculty, there's often vacants for lab technicians, if you want to give it a go

we'll just get chatgpt to invent new science for us

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

what if we ask chatgpt to figure out physics for us and it gives us some absolutely fucked to death recursive nonsense but- what if- what if we like get lucky and it somehow works, the llm's quadrillion monkeys typing somehow crack a glitch in reality

i imagine that is about as likely as it actually helping with inventing new fields of science

Indeed Artificial Intelligence (AI), including machine learning, autonomy, and related advances, ($655.23 million) investments will bring together numerous fields of scientific inquiry—including computer and information science; cognitive science and psychology; economics and game theory; education research; engineering and control theory; ethics; linguistics; mathematics; and philosophy—to advance the frontiers of trustworthy AI, including advancing perception, learning, reasoning, recommendation, and action in the context of specific fields and economic sectors. NSF investments are needed to develop new foundational AI theory and implementation techniques, as well as novel AI methods that are inspired by use cases in specific application domains and contexts.

If you can get out, now's the time.

If not, now's the time to buy guns and ammo.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Unironically... Where's the best place to go if you can get out and only speak english?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

You'll get by just fine everywhere on english, but it'll be hard to integrate and make local friends without learning the language

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

in research? English is enough in most countries I think, I have friends here (France) who just start learning french after 10 years living here 😅 they just didn't need it before

It was time for that like 25 years ago. Fuck... I just realized 9/11 was 24 years ago.

And honesty it might be time watch all these 1st world nations like they aren't quite right.
