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.

Even the Columbia part is weird. Should have been "present-day Columbia" or similar.

Yeah, they also varied between spelling it "Columbia" and "Colombia" in the same article.

But I get it, there's not a lot of money in popular science publishing so they may not even have a copy editor, at least those kinds of stories are still getting popularized and not just 'ancient aliens'.
