The chemist anthropologist

The chemist anthropologist peers through the line of glassware that shields him from the wild chemist. It is here on the interface between the inorganic chemistry uplands and the organic chemistry grasslands that new classifications are most likely to be found. He is in luck! A previously unseen chemist emerges. Their work looks similar to an organic chemist – there is the IR spectrometer, the silica loaded column… but what’s this? Metal doping to enhance yield? Perhaps this is a new type of chemist worthy of classification.
