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.

  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Would you go in a field in which everyone wears short shorts and you get stared at if you don’t?

Would you “not mind” if your company dress code (for a well paired white collar job) is pink shirt with orange blazer?

Make it absurd and flip it to yourself. Suddenly, you want to wear “normal clothes” but you stick out like a sore thumb if you do. Would you feel comfortable? Day in, day out?
