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.

  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

I'm a traveling Metrology guy. It sure is fun bringing home a $250k Leica laser tracker home to my house that is worth less than what's in that box.

Is that the same company that makes histology stuff? half my lab is Leica equipment

Possibly, Leica seems to make all sorts of fancy (expensive) stuff

They're a camera company, so I imagine they'll do anything with lenses
