    Niels Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) Creation of the Bohr Model
    Martin Knudsen put Bohr's name forward for a docent, which is a position to teach below a professional rank, and was approved in July 1913, and Bohr then began teaching medical students. Bohr's papers, which were coined "the trilogy", were published in Philosophical Magazine in three months of the same year. He adapted Rutherford's nuclear structure to Max Planck's quantum theory which in turn led to his creation of the Bohr model of the atom. Reference:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr

    Niels Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) Established the Institute of Theoretical Physics
    In April 1917, Bohr started a campaign to establish an Institute of Theoretical Physics. The Niels Bohr Institute opened on 3 March 1921, with Bohr as its director. Bohr's institute served as a focal point for researchers into quantum mechanics and related subjects in the 1920s and 1930s, when most of the world's best known theoretical physicists spent some time in his company.

    Niels Bohr (7 October 1885 – 18 November 1962) Wins Nobel Prize
    Bohr was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922 "for his services in the investigation of the structure of atoms and of the radiation emanating from them". For his lecture, he presented his audience a survey about the knowledge of the atom, including the correspondence principle, which he had formulated. This states that the behaviour of systems described by quantum theory reproduces classical physics in the limit of large quantum numbers. Reference:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niels_Bohr
