Fellow Radsafers:

 Last nite I watched who wants to be a millionaire?

The question was who did not have an element named after them? Einstein did,
Fermi also, and the the answer they gave was Newton, of course.  The one
that I have a question about Niels Bohr.  They said he also had one named
for him.   I don't think he did unless it was months ago.  Boron was
discovered in 1804.
Does anyone know if I'm right?  (my choice was Newton anyway) Thanks,
              Tom
