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.

Fun fact: in the Americas (Wikipedia says only America and Canada, but I first came across this in South America—Chile or Bolivia, I think), Milky Ways are actually what the rest of us know as Mars Bars. An American Milky Way has nougat and caramel, just like an Australian or Eurasian Mars Bar.
