A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

As a biologist,

We can't even get the actions of water bears down.

We have the entire genetic code and brain mapping of a fruit fly, and can get, very slow, good guesses about how they respond to very basic stimulus.

Let's not even get into epigenetics.

I would never downplay the importance or difficulty of psychology.

But I get nothing but kicks on this house of "science" memes.
