 * Reason:1951 Nobel prize winner in chemistry Glenn T. Seaborg in front of the periodic table. Photograph 1950. The element 106 of the table, Seaborgium, is named after him. He also identified the proper location of element 90 Thorium within the table. He synthesized over a hundred actinide isotopes and here he is photographed with an ion exchanger apparatus of actinide elements.

 * Support. Significantly more interesting than the older-age head-and-shoulders shot that leads the article. Decent quality (although his suit seems more in focus than his face; probably this compromise was necessary to make the periodic table legible) and high EV. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:16, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
