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.

Experimentalists: understood, say no more.

Theorists: ok, show me the Hamiltonian...including the noise terms.

Where was the experiment run? On a battlefield?

Setting up a bird listening device a few meters off an active runway and no filter for engine sounds.
