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.

Yeah, because the software for all the instruments is only available for Windows.

Sure, but I highly doubt they are making policy where they work. I don't think most employers would be happy about some random researcher not only plugging in a flash drive from home, but using it to install unapproved software (a full OS at that).

If you're cold they're cold pug that random flashdrive from the ground out side into the nearest computer.
