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
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

You guys have a superiority complex? That must be nice!
As a chemist, all I got was a shortened lifespan.
Need to make a new compound? Use a carcinogen
Liquid/liquid extraction? Carcinogen
Neutralize a reactive compound? Carcinogen
Clean your glassware? Believe it or not, carcinogen.
Chemists have the most applicable skills of any science majors, and it's all because of carcinogens.
To quote an old professor: "there isn't a lab table dirty enough that a little benzene won't clean it!" Fortunately for us (and him) 'they' wouldn't let him do that anymore.
He also habitually turned his head sideways when working with, say, ether, because you dont want your pipe to set the fumes on fire.
Seriously. As a biologist, my education was general enough that I learned how little I know about everything, instead giving me an inferiority complex.
