Academic vs industry Memes

The eternal divide between chemical engineers and synthetic chemists in one perfect meme. Engineers just want the practical yield and industrial application, while chemists are over there naming reactions after dead Germans and talking about "elegant mechanisms" like they're describing ballet. The engineer's face says it all: "Sure, buddy, tell me more about your palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling while I figure out how to scale this up 10,000x without bankrupting the company." Classic academic vs. industrial chemistry tension that's been playing out in labs since Bunsen first lit his burner.
