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 have to assume he's working backwards, because if he'd gotten to Astatine we'd know.

I doubt he's working backwards. Those heavier elements decay before you get halfway through blinking. And most of them kill while doing it.

most don't, most will just give you poisoning from ingestion (or plain old indigestion), or in off case cancers, but that is not "kill" enough
