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.

Plants are older than thought: 500 million years old. Source

The earliest fungi started to develop 1.5 billion years ago, with other types 635 to 400 million years ago. Source

In fact, both flora and fauna can't survive without fungi. Source
