Anniversary posts are celebrating Danish physicist Niels Bohr, born 7 October 1885, who died in 1962. He is best known for the Bohr-Rutherford model of the atom, in which electrons orbit a nucleus in defined shells, a foundational contribution to early quantum mechanics. One post accompanies the tribute with an image of Bohr beside his model of the hydrogen atom.
Why now: Today marks the anniversary of Bohr's birth, prompting tributes from scientists and science communicators.
