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.

Scientists aren't being paid enough, that's how they found out, right?

From what I understand, you would probably have to pay geologists extra (and I guess archaeologists) to not lick stuff they dig out of the ground.

How many times have I told you, don't drink from the beakers.

I'm a chemist, and I've been gifted beaker tea-glasses and water glasses. They have been made for drinking, have never even been close to a lab, and yet drinking from a beaker makes me actually physically nauseous. It's 100% psychosomatic, I know it's fine, but my instincts scream at me not to do this, and I actually become nauseous when I drink water from a beaker.

So it's pretty easy not to
