	Glenn T. Seaborg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glenn Theodore Seaborg (April 19, 1912 – February 25, 1999) was an American chemist, who was prominent in the discovery and isolation of many transuranic elements (including plutonium, during the Manhattan Project), for which he won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1951.
		For the remainder of his life, Seaborg was the only person in the world who could write his address in chemical elements: seaborgium, lawrencium, berkelium, californium, americium (Glenn Seaborg, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California, United States of America).
		Of Swedish ancestry, Seaborg was born in Ishpeming, Michigan, grew up in South Gate, California (a suburb next to Watts in Los Angeles), took his bachelors degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1934, where he joined Alpha Chi Sigma, and his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley in 1937.

		Glenn Seaborg never lost sight of who he was or where he came from, and he was fiercely proud of both his Swedish heritage and his U.P. homeland.
		For all his discoveries in the laboratory, however, Glenn Seaborg resolutely insisted that his greatest discovery of all was made in 1941 in the office of Ernest Lawrence where Seaborg first met Lawrence's secretary, Helen Griggs.
		When Glenn Seaborg arrived at Berkeley, the heaviest known chemical element was uranium (atomic number 92), but in the late 1930s and early 1940s, vigorous searches were under way to discover heavier elements.

		Seaborg wrote that Lewis described the “joy of scientific discovery, the realities of scientific investigation, and the ways scientists work together to advance knowledge.” This, in turn, serves as the inspiration for LLNL’s Glenn T. Seaborg Institute.
		Seaborg noted that “My theory required a major realignment of the periodic table of the elements.&; His concept became the foundation for many significant discoveries in heavy element research.
