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.

And my mates Ceres and Sedna! And Orcus, Makemake, Haumea, Eris (which started this whole deal), Gonggong, Quaoar, Salacia, Leleākūhonua, and at least 40 undiscovered Sednoids. Vesta, Pallas, Hygeia, and Interamnia probably counted at one point too!

At some point it stops being gatekeeping and is just another kingdom entirely.
