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.

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

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

al- is Arabic for "the", and English usually takes these loanwords with the article included.

I read a book in 6th grade math class called "A Gebra Named Al" that explained most of this.

There were chemys named Al in that forest, iirc. I imagine they know a cohol or two named Al, too.
