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.

Wikipedia seems to not be unanimous on the brain-to-body ratio claim. There's a discussion link next to the citation.

At least the Latin name is still diplomatic, as always

I thought the name had to be edited given that it looks different from the rest of the text, but on reflection it's just because it is a hyperlink.
