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.

Because it sounds more ethical when you call the control group placebo instead what they are, and expendable group of fools sacrificed for numerical convenience

That's not what AIDs patients patients wanted. or trans youth seeking puberty blockers to reduce their suicidal thoughts wanted.
