The eternal tragedy of organic synthesis! You start with a mountain of raw material, perform 17 different reactions, purify until your hands fall off, and what do you get? A SPECK of product that you need an electron microscope to see! 🧪

The look of pure horror on SpongeBob's face is every grad student realizing their 3-month synthesis yielded just enough product to disappoint their advisor. The real miracle of organic chemistry isn't the reactions—it's somehow maintaining your sanity when your 0.01% yield is considered "a success worthy of publication." 🤣
