A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I spent years thinking it was called Dunkleosaurus before I realised I'd been reading it wrong the whole time
pro tip: "osteo" means bone, dunkleosteus is a VERY bony fish
Even knowing the correct name I somehow never made that connection!
Oh, and I thought he had dark bones
Well, TIL.
I spent years never having read or heard of this fish at all, but thankfully that dark dark time in my life just ended.
