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.

I once had a guy at the local science museum tell me that attempting a PhD will either give you a mental illness or alcoholism.

Terrible take. You will get both, and a caffeine addiction

Pfft I got all three and I’m a college dropout. You mean to tell me I should have a PhD by now?

Nah, I already got a caffeine addiction from the GCSEs.
