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.

Exactly, imagine if we threw away the entire peer review process and made it about, "Well I have a PhD! Checkmate."

We'd descend into a dark age for science.

Experts often disagree.

If it were that easy, everything would be solved. We wouldn't need so much research or so many universities.
