There are a lot of jokes and memes out there making fun of scientists. And not to go all angry-scientist on you, but those are really unfair.
The truth is that many of the world’s greatest discoveries came about because of scientists experimenting with hypotheses, performing research, testing theories, and coming up with new discoveries.
Science can be fun (now you’re just trying to get a reaction…). If you are working in a lab or doing any research, you’ll probably end up using these scientist jokes too.
Are you a scientist, teacher, student, science major or do you simply like science? Then you will love this collection of funny jokes.
