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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Could be a Lemmy.Zip thing, then. Would be nice if the people who run instances would also consider how their personal hosting choices effect sharing across the wider internet. I get us tech nerds have our respective preferences for obscure formats for various reasons, but we really should be playing somewhat nicely with other environments if we want to attract users.
