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.

My advisor, who ostensibly understood my background and means, could not understand how such a relatively small fee would be so prohibitive.

No advisor expects a student to pay publication charges. My lab pays about $10,000/yr into this racket.

I don’t know what to tell you. Your experiences are your own, and I’m glad your lab takes care of you.
