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.

Just ask anyone who's tried to smuggle on 5lbs of mercury...

Nah, that's because five pounds would be about 6 fluid ounces of mercury and you're only allowed 3 ounces of a fluid.

Hey now, no need to bring math into this like a civilized person! You changed the outcome by measuring it!
