The Literal PhD In Organic Chemistry

The Literal PhD In Organic Chemistry

Behold the ultimate chemistry dad joke! The meme shows someone bragging about having a PhD in organic chemistry, but then "The PhD" is literally just a benzene ring with a deuterium atom (D) attached to it. It's a brilliant chemical pun because "Ph" is the symbol for a phenyl group (a benzene ring) and "D" is deuterium - so "PhD" is literally "Ph-D" - a deuterated benzene molecule! Four years of grad school reduced to a single chemical structure. Chemists everywhere are simultaneously groaning and sending this to their research groups right now!
