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

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
IIRC when Mount Saint Helens erupted in the 80s it blew the top half of the volcano off.
I think so
Had to look this up. It was https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Landsburg
RIP
That's Robert Landsburg although I don't think his photos are very famous.
The series of photos that were turned into a video were taken by Gary Rosenquist, who survived the eruption.
So much awesome power in that eruption (with non-awesome human and nature/animal consequences).
