University of Washington Chemistry Professor Bill Zoller

Professor Bill Zoller is a University of Washington Chemistry professor that I have the benefit of seeing almost weekly.

He has provided much valuable input into the development of this periodic table and corrected my limited understanding of chemistry on numerous occassions.

He is also the one that gave me the idea for its rotation. By having the noble gasses in the middle of the table, it is simpler to determine visually whether electrons must be added or subtracted to gain full octet stability.

The Chemistry Department has a web page for him here.
