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.

Would it be possible to genetically engineer nettles which inject helpful or recreational drugs in small doses instead of itchy stuff?

Possible? Maybe. 🤷

Ethical? Possibly. 🤷

Legal? Not in a million years 😔
