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.

They say it's the equivalent of a human giving birth to a 10yo. No wonder the mother's bugger off after laying and let the father deal with it

They gave all they had. And then some, Jesus.

Most animals have better births than humans but I, a human woman, would not want to be a kiwi bird (avian variety, IDK what words mean over there).
