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.

As they say, intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

(That's the saying, but IMO it's wisdom to know and intelligence to not do it, maybe I'm mixing things up).

@Ilovethebomb has the answer IMO: knowledge and wisdom.
