    Together, our stories could be the "original" and "sequel." Doesn't matter which one is first or second.

    I did write it out, but surprisingly it feels too personal for me to share.
    I'm usually pretty open but summarizing my whole life in a paragraph scares me.
    It reminds me if my mortality.
    Great question though.: )

    The Story of Element 99


    The element was discovered by a team headed by Albert Ghiorso.

    Ghiorso and co-workers analyzed filter papers which had been flown through the explosion cloud on airplanes (the same sampling technique that had been used to discover 244
    94Pu
    ).[5] Larger amounts of radioactive material were later isolated from coral debris of the atoll, which were delivered to the U.S.[4] The separation of suspected new elements was carried out in the presence of a citric acid/ammonium buffer solution in a weakly acidic medium (pH ≈ 3.5), using ion exchange at elevated temperatures; fewer than 200 atoms of einsteinium were recovered in the end.[6] Nevertheless, element 99 (einsteinium), namely its 253Es isotope, could be detected via its characteristic high-energy alpha decay at 6.6 MeV.[4] It was produced by the capture of 15 neutrons by uranium-238 nuclei followed by seven beta-decays, and had a half-life of 20.5 days. Such multiple neutron absorption was made possible by the high neutron flux density during the detonation, so that newly generated heavy isotopes had plenty of available neutrons to absorb before they could disintegrate into lighter elements. Neutron capture initially raised the mass number without changing the atomic number of the nuclide, and the concomitant beta-decays resulted in a gradual increase in the atomic number:[4]

    U 92 238 → 6 β − + 15 n Cf 98 253 → β − Es 99 253

    I'll try.  Grew up comfortably in Suburban New Jersey but as an adolescent became disaffected by the prospect of what I saw as a narrow life in which I would be expected to be pretty, smart, popular (none of which I was) and marry well.  Against which I rebelled, turning to drugs and alcohol, misbehavior, and acting out which culminated in my leaving home at 17.  For several years I did the whole hippie lifestyle in San Francisco, Berkeley, Boston, Oregon, and even the Philippines, working a variety of low-paying jobs and living with a variety of men. In my later 20s I tired of depending so much on others and decided to "go straight", taking secretarial and computer courses which led after a couple of years to a job with an industrial corporation in the Boston area which I have held and grown with for 29 years now.  In my mid 40s I was pretty financially secure and at age 53 I met and married my husband and we moved to the country suburbs.  I have no children of my own.  I do volunteer fund-raising for arts groups and sit on the board of directors of one of them.  Currently I also serve on my town's conservation commission.
