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.

Has "Dear Ashley" not been online during the start and height of the Covid-19 pandemic? It's not an entirely new concept.
On the other hand, just because you got a title to your name doesn't make you intelligent or apt to discuss a topic. I have seen many PhD students in my time as one, who shouldn't have received a PhD in the end as they really weren't very good at what they were doing. E.g. manual counting of things in images and using the only statistical test that gives you significance, those sort of things in Life Sciences...
💯% the title ought to be immaterial or at most a loose guide to credibility. We examine the measurements and observations and propose a hypothesis that doesn't need to violate the laws of physics to explain what we saw. Anybody can do that but scientists and engineers are the obvious choice. Everyone else go look up the Dunning-Kruger effect.
