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.

In Ireland it's Éire, while Iceland is An Íoslainn, so it doesn't really work 😕

Not in Dutch however. There it's IJsland and Ierland. You'll have to go through several more character shufflings to make it.
