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 feel like that would be much much faster than 100 words per minute... But scale is hard

Post says words per second.

As my stat mech professor said, "what's a few orders of magnitude between friends?"

It's also not the exact speed but the order of magnitude. Both plates and nails vary in speed individually but the order of magnitude is the same
