Abstract Glenn Seaborg was born on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in 1912. At age 10, he moved to southern California, where his high school chemistry and physics teacher, Dwight Logan Read, sparked his interest in these fields. Seaborg was the first person to have an element named after him while he was still living. The only other person to have an element named after him while he was still alive was Yuri Oganessian.

Globalization, migration, transnational movements, and new economies have led educational leaders worldwide to view schools as key venues to develop global competence in working and learning with people from different cultures. With this global trend as a context, a state-of-the-art high school was created in Suzhou, China through a public-private partnership. Additionally, the school leaders invited North Carolina State University to be the creative partner for the school. This chapter traces the development of the new educational facility, the innovative curriculum embracing the best of Chinese and American education, and the successes and ongoing challenges that the members of the collaborative partnership experience.

AbstractWhen Lars Öhrström started paying real attention to chemistry, during his high school years in the early 1980s, the three-letter symbols then designating any element with atomic number higher than 103 seemed like a permanent fixture to the periodic table in the chemistry classroom. In the following years, he learned that they were only temporary placeholders for elements that fulfilled the criteria of “being discovered” but where, for unclear reasons, a name had not yet been agreed.
