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.

"Any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C Clarke

"Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology." - either Larry Niven or Terry Pratchett

I think both apply to modern science.
