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.

Fraction of a second for transmitting information from one side of earth to other side. And teacher only said 8 minutes and the seconds are ommitted as there is always an error margin since distance from sun is not constant.
