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.

  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.

A PhD is not the only way to expand human knowledge. This is disregarding a lot of work done by a lot of hard working people.

Good luck expanding the fields of math and science without a PhD.

Like the guy who found this somehow important new shape not to long ago? I don't think he has a PhD. But he did contribute. Not saying that it's easy though.

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I expected someone to bring up some shit like that. My point still stands.

Lookup the Einstein problem. I'm talking about the aperiodic monotile discovered by David Smith.
