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.

Oh, I looked up a bit more about this — apparently the woman who swam this particular recorded route is disabled. As in she cannot physically use her legs.

Really cool stuff, but it's also a little misleading — look up Sophie Etheridge for more.
