- List of things named after Glenn T. Seaborg
Nobel Prize-winning chemist
Glenn T. Seaborg is known for his considerable legacy. At one time, Seaborg was listed in theGuinness Book of World Records for having the longest entry in Marquis'Who's Who . Glenn T. Seaborg's legacy was cemented with the naming of Element 106 asSeaborgium in his honor. No other person has had an element publicly named after him while he was alive (Einsteinium andFermium had their names proposed when Einstein and Fermi were alive, but the names were not released to the public until after their deaths).
