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.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

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

LOL, this meme has two layers, as they say "real sciences don't need "science" suffix in the name"

Computer science and programming are two different things. Computer science started as a branch of mathematics, looking into calculability: what problems can a computer even solve. I had a course on algorithms by a professor that had never programmed a line of code in his life, everything he did was in pseudocode.

Can you actually get a degree in rocket science? I feel like the closest would be aerospace engineering.

Rocket appliances

They really love to have it both ways. ‘Oh, I’m a scientist, not some antiintellectual engineer’ and ‘Here’s why I’m an engineer even without a license, I’m not some poor lab rat academic’

Got a degree in not a real science to do not real engineering.
