Walter Weizel "Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg". He received his doctorate in physical chemistry at Heidelberg, under Max Trautz. He switched form chemistry to physics to work on the quantum mechanics of molecules as a fellow of the "Notgemeinschaft der Deutschen Wissenschaft" (NG; Emergency Association of German Science) at the "Universität Rostock". He completed his Habilitation in 1929. After Habilitation, Weizel worked briefly at "Badische Anilin- und Sodafabrik" (BASF, Baden Aniline and Soda Factory) at Ludwigshafen. Then, during 1931, he had a Rockefeller fellowship to the University of Chicago. From late in 1931, Weizel was an "ordentlicher Professor" (ordinarius professor) of theoretical physics at the
Salsola soda Salsola soda Salsola soda, more commonly known in English as opposite-leaved saltwort, oppositeleaf Russian thistle, or barilla plant, is a small (to 0.7 m tall), annual, succulent shrub that is native to the Mediterranean Basin. It is a halophyte (a salt-tolerant plant) that typically grows in coastal regions and can be irrigated with salt water. The plant has great historical importance as a source of soda ash, which was extracted from the ashes of "Salsola soda" and other saltwort plants. Soda ash is one of the alkali substances that are crucial in glassmaking and soapmaking. The famed clarity of 16th
