Here kitty kitty
(slrpnk.net)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Problem: Can a black cat be found in a dark room?
Hypothesis: yes
Variable: flashlight
Control: no flashlight
Findings: "v" group found the cat; the "c" group didn't.
Theory: You can find a cat in a dark room using a flashlight.
Law: cats land feet first (indisputable)
Scientific literature doesn't always take on the observation, hypothesis, experiment, conclusion form so strictly. A lot of the time it's "This is the state of the field so far. Hey look what we found, that's interesting. Conclusion: somebody should look into this"
