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.

I'm a native US English speaker. I would only ever say oriented. As a kid, not knowing the "correct" form, I got corrected for saying orientated. I watch content from a lot of countries and do hear at least some British English speakers using orientated.
