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?
