	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.
		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.
		Seaborg was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1948.

		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.
		Glenn Seaborg was blessed with one of those truly charismatic teachers who, if we are fortunate, sometimes touch our lives and whom we never forget.
		Seaborg saw science as integrated and unified and later in his career found it amusing as well as gratifying that the chemists and physicists of today both vigorously claim him as their own.

	Glenn Theodore Seaborg - People of Michigan
		Seaborg thrived in the Berkeley research facilities, and he became widely acknowledged and respected by his fellow researchers.
		Ironically, Seaborg and other researchers had petitioned President Harry Truman not to use the bomb on populated areas, but instead to demonstrate its power by detonating it over an unpopulated remote island, but this was not to be.
		Seaborg's high-profile scientific career includes such honors as a Nobel prize, being named Chancellor of the University of California at Berkeley, and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission under presidents Kennedy, Nixon, and Johnson.

		After the war, Seaborg was named head of the nuclear chemistry division of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, later becoming director and then director emeritus of the laboratory.
		Seaborg codiscovered the elements plutonium (and its isotope Pu-239), americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, and nobelium.
		In 1997, the element with the atomic number 106 was named seaborgium in his honor, marking the first time an element was named for a living person.

	Glenn T. Seaborg : Seaborg
		Glenn Theodore Seaborg (April 19, 1912 - February 25, 1999) was an American atomic scientist.
		Of Swedish ancestry, Seaborg was born at Ishpeming, Michigan, grew up in South Gate[?], a suburb next to Watts[?] in Los Angeles, took his A. degree at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1934, and his doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley in 1937.
		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 Laboratory, Berkeley, California, United States of America).

		Seaborg led the research team that created nine new elements, including plutonium (used in nuclear reactions), americium (used in smoke detectors), and curium (used in medicine).
		Those who aspire to careers in science will immediately sense Seaborg's implied encouragement of their own dreams, for he was a dedicated teacher who immensely enjoyed the contact with and the enthusiasm of his students.
		Seaborg's story begins in Michigan with his Scandinavian parents, but shifts quickly to California, where he got himself an education he didn't think he could afford during the dark days of the Depression.

		Glenn Seaborg and Dr. Edwin McMillan on the day they were notified that they had won the Nobel Prize, October 1951.
		Seaborg therefore proposed for the new trans-uranium elements 95 and 96 the names americium and curium, in analogy with their corresponding rare earths europium and gadolinium (after Europe and Gadolin respectively).
		The dinner was held in the Gold Hall, described by Dr. Seaborg as "...a beautiful room done in gold, as the name implies; around the room are scenes depicting the whole of Sweden's history." The dinner was attended by the Nobel Laureates and their spouses, the Swedish Royal Family, the Prime Minister and other dignitaries.

		Seaborg attended high school in the Watts district of Los Angeles where his heritage was one of many ethnic backgrounds.
		Seaborg's enthusiasm for science grew as he learned of new discoveries in nuclear chemistry and physics which were taking place in Europe and at the nearby Berkeley campus of the University of California.
		Seaborg worked extensively on the reorganization of the periodic table to show the relationship of the new elements to those already known.

	Glenn Seaborg Obituary
		Seaborg was born in 1912 in Ishpeming, Michigan.
		Seaborg and his colleagues used this concept as a stepping stone to the creation of a succession of transuranium elements, including americium, curium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, and seaborgium.
		Seaborg was also a major advocate for nuclear arms control, international cooperation in science, and conservation of natural resources.

	Active Skim View of: Glenn Theodore Seaborg
		Unlike in Ishpeming, where his father would have been guaranteed employment for life as a machinist in the iron works, in California his father never found permanent employment in his trade, and the family finances were in rather poor condition.
		This concept was verified when chemical separations based on separating elements 95 and 96 as trivalent homologues of the lanthanides were successfully used in 1944 to separate and identify these new elements, subsequently named americium and curium.
		Glenn loved to hike, and he and Helen laid out an interconnected network of 12-mile trails in the East Bay Hills above Berkeley extending to the California-Nevada border that forms a link in a cross-country trek of the American Hiking Society.
