He persevered, despite the tar and the yellow.
The Dixie cups gave him strength

So we made Fukken tar
I’d vote for him. Any fan of Grimace is a man worthy of scientific praise.
Could someone explain?
The gentleman pictured is one Mr. Thomas de Prinse of the Explosions&Fire YouTube channel. He recently finished up a synthesis of dimethyl cubane-1,4-dicarboxylate. While this is impressive feat to accomplish with hardware store chemicals in a shed, it is not novel or groundbreaking enough to warrant a Nobel Prize.
Someone has then created this portrait of him, replicating the style often used in Nobel Prize announcements (see this year's as an example), with a few differences, such as misspelling 'Nobel' as 'Noble', substituting 'Swedish' for 'Swiss', and writing 'This is a work of satire.' down the side.

For completeness Olivia Vert made it for the Journal of Immaterial Science (also the Barbenheimer one, and some others but I think they only shared those on Reddit)
Right, thank you! Yeah mainly needed help on the YT backstory and the chemistry, the premise of the joke I got, I could have been clearer. Anywho, grade A content my dude(ette)!
Why does it say satire when it's just so true ?
Imagine the most stereotypical Australian you can. Now imagine he has a PhD in chemistry but no money for a lab, so does all his work out of a literal tin shed full of spiders using stuff he found at the hardware store
YELLOW!!!
Knowing Tom, he'd be too embarrassed to accept it.
