Transuranium Elements c/o Berkeley @ 2:25 PM

I love that I can tell you my exact location using elements from the beloved Periodic Table.
This morning, Vanadium (element 23) and Selenium (34) were seated in the auditorium where Lawrencium (103) received his Nobelium (102) in Berkelium (97), Californium (98), Americium (95).
Thanks to the Cyclotron in the UC Berkeley Lawrence Laboratory, the collective efforts of Lawrence, Seaborg, Oppenheimer, and other physicists, I can proudly say that 12 elements were discovered and named by my school: Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium, Lawrencium, Seaborgium.
How I covet a periodic table signed by Seaborg.
