12 Science Diagrams That Really Look Like Memes
Science textbooks can be a weird place. Twitter's @sciences---post gleans the best weird charts, visuals, and illustrations from science textbooks and celebrates their wackiness. Some of these scientific posts seem totally unintentional, and others feel a little tongue-in-cheek, as if people in white lab coats are having a lot more fun than you'd expect.
The pursuit of knowledge about the natural world is one of the noblest human projects you can engage in, but it can also be one of the funniest. We're not sure if these things from textbooks and class worksheets were made to look ridiculous, but they definitely do. These slices of scientific fact, apparently from real science publications, show you an odd and compelling side of STEM. Scroll these and you might even end up learning something. It’s always possible. Or at least, they’ll ease the load of your 40 pages of course reading due next week.
