Erwin Schrödinger is one of the "fathers of quantum mechanics". He also sexually abused children. Trinity College Dublin recently denamed a lecture theatre that had been named after him - but his name is still on an equation that won the Nobel Prize for physics. And a cat.Writer and historian Subhadra Das recounts how and why you rename a university building, and retired physicist Martin Austwick considers that renaming an eponymous equation or theory might be more difficult than unscrewing a sign from a wall.

Surprisingly few elements have been named after people; at present, only 15 people have been immortalised on the periodic table, and they are listed in table 1.4.

Eponym

You are sure to know of antonyms and synonyms, but do you know of eponyms. Boycott and Fahrenheit are examples of eponyms. The words were derived from or based on a person's name.

Did you see the recent article in Nature titled 'Eponyms have no place in 21st-century biological nomenclature'? https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-023-02022-y

Just saw someone on campus stop the person ahead of me to ask for directions and this poor man just looks at the student's phone and goes "I don't know how to tell you this... you're on the wrong campus. You're in the wrong city."

Hans Asperger would have been merely "a footnote in the history of autism", so why did he get to be the eponym in Asperger's syndrome? Because along with the usual problems medical eponyms pose, and his work not really earning him the honour, he collaborated with Nazis and sent children to a hospital where they would be experimented on and even killed. Activist, writer and academic Morénike Giwa Onaiwu discusses the stigma around terms like Asperger’s syndrome and autism, and historian Edith Sheffer talks about Hans Asperger and child psychiatry in Nazi Vienna.
