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.

Counterexamples also refute, without necessarily being science.

Counterexamples only go so far. What you really need is counterexamples, and an analysis of their implications, including a probability study.

In other words, well, science.

Because of the implication.
