A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
A desk reject, also known as a desk rejection, is when your paper is turned down by a journal or conference, prior to them sending it out for review. It basically means: either your paper is rejected for technical reasons (i.e., not within the page limits or clearly written by AI) or it's so shitty, nobody wants to waste the reviewer's time.
