Elements that spell OLiVEr SAcKS (8)For the front of my home page I had the idea that I might spell out my name using element tiles from the Periodic Table Table. Unfortunately, it can't be done: My name is not a chemical compound. But that got me thinking about other people whose names might be possible, and lo and behold, Dr. Sacks himself can be spelled with elements!
Naturally I then wrote a small webMathematica program to break any name into elements, if it can be done. Some people are compounds, some people aren't, that's all there is to it, and to find out if you are, click here.
Here's what Dr. Sacks looks like spelled out in elements:

Click any element tile below to get the full entry for that element, or click on the sample picture to go directly to the description of that sample.
