Remembered two fun things from the AIR today. This one is more meme-ish.
I would say most funny... but the worst because you have to read the whole paper to know what it is about.
The time around the superluminal neutrino result was crazy. The oddest papers were written on the slimmest chans it would last and their explination would be correct enough for a nobel prize later down the line.
If only I could write this
You can!
Getting it published is another matter though...
getting published is easy
getting published somewhere anyone gives a flying fuck..
Basically Betteridge's law of headlines
Actual assignment I handed in at University:

"ok."
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
