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.
Surprisingly they don't have that much of the market.

I counted the word "institutional" used almost once per sentence. There were a couple of sentences that didn't use it, but there was at least one sentence that used it twice. Plus all the figures and captions for them too.
Though despite being not "institutional", the market seems to have behaved a little as if it were, due to use of software to fix prices at what the landlords believed that the market would bear. So still price gouging, regardless of whether done by individuals or giant mega-corporations.
Though still a good point that the article makes.
