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.

And the amount of time dedicated to ox-bow lakes. Where are they all? You'd think every second meander would be an ox-bow lake by now, but I've never even seen one.

I think geography teachers made them up and hoped nobody would ever check.
