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.

You asked for a line, they gave you a line, what more can be asked for?

We used to intentionally add wrong data to our datasets so we could circle it afterwards, declare it "outlying data" and gain the extra points for spotting and documenting it.

I'm not bitter about my formal education, honest...
