"Poppin' Fresh!", the Pillsbury Doughboy, turned 60 years old on November 7th! He appeared in his first television commercial in 1965. The background on my tie has the words "Dough Cool" because he's wearing his cool sunglasses. Today also marks the birthday of nuclear physicist Lise Meitner (1878-1968), who made significant discoveries in that field in 1930-1960. She was nominated many times for the Nobel Prizes in chemistry and physics but never won the award. She is now memorialized with the naming of meitnerium, element 109.
