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.

I had my son at 28, not by 24. Speedrun: FAILED.

Oh, and wrote my first novel at 50. Also FAILED, apparently.

A novelist?? What a disappointment! /s

(But seriously, congrats, that's no easy feat!)
