There are several things that come better in pairs: studies and coworking spaces, coffee and buns, fall and the desire to stay indoors. Are science and memes the case? 😏
Just like anyone these days, we can’t resist a good meme: they are funny, concise, and can often say more than a thousand words. But can their power be harnessed for good – for instance, in science communication?
To shed light on this intriguing topic, we reached out to Tatiana Melenteva, the chief editor at ITMO’s Center for Science Communication. Look what we found out!
