Chemistry's Civil War: The Spider-Man Standoff

The classic Spider-Man pointing meme perfectly captures chemistry's civil war! Each branch thinks the others are trash while doing essentially the same thing - just with different molecules and fancier equipment. Physical chemists think they're superior with their quantum equations while organic chemists roll their eyes at anything without carbon. Meanwhile, biochemists are over there like "at least our compounds actually do something useful in living things." The academic tribal warfare continues as everyone conveniently forgets they're all just studying different aspects of the same electrons. Next time you hear someone from nuclear chem trash-talking electrochemistry, remember they're just Spider-Men in different corners of the same room.
