Tribute to Niels Bohr


Happy Birthday to Niels Bohr!
A physicist who made great contributions to our understanding of how atoms work and who gave us the diagram that bears his name The Bohr Model, he began his earthy journey 127 years ago. 

When this news reached my young scientist daughters plans were quickly hatched to celebrate this esteemed man of science. How else to celebrate but with cheesecake proudly adorned with the model of an atom.

This special blend of science and sweetness was created in a warm kitchen filled with laughter amid chemistry jokes including

Q: Why do chemists call helium, curium, and barium the healing elements? 
A: Because if you can't helium or curium, you barium!


Q: Anyone know any jokes about sodium? 
A: Na

Two atoms are walking down the street. One atom says to the other, "Hey! I think I lost an electron!" The other says, "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive!"

Yes, science does have a lighter side.
