Seaborg is currently University Professor of Chemistry (the most distin­ guished titled bestowed by the Regents), Associate Director-at-Large of the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Chairman of the Lawrence Hall of Science at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his A. B. in Chemistry from UCLA in 1934 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Berkeley in 1937. He has served on the faculty of the Berkeley campus since 1939 and was Chancellor of that campus 1958-1961. In 1961 Dr. Seaborg was appointed Chair­ man of the Atomic Energy Commission by President John F. Kennedy. He was sub­ sequently reappointed by both Presidents Johnson and Nixon, serving in that position until 1971. Winner of the 1951 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (with E. M. McMillan) for his work on the chemistry of the transuranium elements, Glenn Seaborg is one of the discoverers of plutonium (element 94). During World War II he headed the group at the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory which devised the chemical extraction processes used in the production of plutonium for the Manhattan Project. He and his coworkers have since discovered none more transuranium elements: americium (element 95), curium (96), berkelium (97), californium (98), einsteinium (99), fermium (100), mendelevium (101), nobelium (102), and Element 106. He has been honoured by the recommendation by the co-discoverers of Element 106 that it be named "seaborgium," with the symbol Sc. He holds over 40 patents, including those on elements americium and curium (making him the only person ever to hold a patent on a chemical element). In 1944, Dr. Seaborg formulated the actinide concept of heavy element electronic structure which accurately predicted that the heaviest naturally occurring elements to­ gether with synthetic transuranium elements would form a transition series of actinide ele­ ments in a manner analogous to the rare earth series of lanthanide elements. This concept, one of the most significant changes in the periodic table since Mendeleev's 19th century design, shows how the transuranium elements fit into the periodic table and thus demon­ strates their relationships to other elements. His co-discoveries include many isotopes which have practical applications in re­ search medicine and industry (such as iodine-131, technetium-99m, cobalt-57, cobalt-60, iron-55, iron-59, zink-65, cesium-137, manganese-54, antimony-124, californium-252, americium-241, plutonium-238),
