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.

Fewer than 50% of the cells in "your body" contain your own DNA.

There are many more bacteria, since they are much much smaller than "your own" eukaryotic cells.

Where you end and your "gut flora" begin and end is not as clear as you might first believe.
