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.

Elsevier and Nature Group are for-profit. That is the problem. Once profit is involved, morals and ideals go out the window

And more specifically, a bunch of parasites that demand to be paid a hundred times what the people who do all work start crowding around the trough, even before the stockholders get their cut.
