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.

It’s just a normal “black light” like at a dance party, or mini golf course, or like the little flashlights they use to check money and ID cards.

Depends on the wavelength. Could be skin cancer, vitamin D, nothing, or your manicure is done
