The Glenn Seaborg Learning Consortium.
Seaborg also had the element Seaborgium named after him.
Seaborg also helped in the discovery of two more elements, einsteinium(Es) and mendelevium(Md).
As the co-discoverer of so many elements, Seaborg was certainly worthy of the honor,
but the choice was controversial because Seaborg was still alive.
Seaborg looks at his grad student. This is December 1942,
and he said,"You have just made a $50 quadrillion discovery." Grad student was like"Uhh!
To date, Seaborg, who died in 1999, is
the only scientist ever to live long enough to look himself up in the periodic table.
This led to the United States pursuing a program to make plutonium for use in their atomic bomb project,
which later morphed into the top-secret Manhattan Project which Seaborg also worked on.
In 1980, the Seaborg and a group of other scientists used a particle
accelerator to propel beams of carbon and neon nuclei at nearly light speed into foils of the heavy metal bismuth- you know, the stuff you find in relatively large quantities in Peptol-Bismol, used for shotgun pellets, and a variety of other applications.
