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.

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
