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.

My wife, with a PhD applying for jobs 15 years ago:
"You're stupidly over-qualified for this entry-level job, we fear that you will leave us as soon as you get a better offer."
or
"You have the qualifications for his role, but you lack previous experience."
