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 the Guinness 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 as Seaborgium in his honor. No other person has had an element publicly named after him while he was alive (Einsteinium and Fermium had their names proposed when Einstein and Fermi were alive, but the names were not released to the public until after their deaths). The list of things named after Glenn T. Seaborg below supplements his biographical entry.
