People have resorted to dousing themselves in hand-sanitiser, self-isolating and panic buying toilet paper. Being the squishy meat sacks we are, we’ve even started coping by sharing memes, sometimes completely insensitive, and sometimes very wholesome. Now, scientists want you to send them the best corona-themed memes around.
Smart people over at the University of Amsterdam and KU Leuven have extended an invitation to share COVID-19-related memes and jokes for research purposes. No, this is not a meme in and of itself. This is science.
Are you already in possession of a whole folder of dank memes named ‘Corona-memes’ featuring classics like the Corona beer memes? Head here to file your scientific contributions, and you can read more about the study here.
