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.

See: Lysenkoism

Though being aware of the biases involved in the literature is always important

The Big Bang Theory has that silly name because it's what people trying to discredit it termed it.

There's bias in everything, but empirical evidence wins out in the end.

Empirical evidence wins out in the end but... it's not that simple. One name said a lot about this : Thomas Kuhn. Try giving The structure of scientific revolutions a read whenever you can. It's old and there are more contemporary work, but Kuhn is still a reference in epistemology.
