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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

  • Telescope
  • Microscope with slides
  • Board games
  • Cooking appliances
  • T-Mobile-powered, infini-data hotspot devices that can fit in your pocket and provide Internet

My cousin uses the library to get art to hang on their wall. Good stuff too, their library's got a good curator.
