Synthbro

A chemist who is fanatical about the field of total synthesis, to the point where they do not see the value in any other research. Most often a man, and usually has a machismo attitude and is probably a misogynist, but no one knows for sure. Often works insane hours in the hope that one day they'll finally get a breakthrough paper, rocketing them to stardom, however, we all know this will never happen.

Mike: "I don't see how any of this is useful, could you show any examples of how this research is going to be used in a synthesis?"
Maggie: "Oh my god, Mike are you a Synthbro?????"
