I can't quite grasp a biochemist putting down organic chemistry. Biochemistry is a branch of organic chemistry, although it also has some attributes outside those I'd strictly attribute to organic chem.
The way I look at it, biochemists dream of drugs (for example), but organic chemists build them. Biochemists know about reactants and products, but organic chemists know just how a reactant becomes a product. And, can likely come up with an alternative method to accomplish the same thing.
