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.
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)!
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)
