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 was stable release several years ago. Now I have security issues but some folks still think I'm awesome.

Just try not to leave the few remaining people who depend on you, up shit creek. Get a will.

I'm a beta-lactam antibiotic.
