Biography
My favorite nuclide is Uranium-235. This is the only naturally abundant nuclide that can have a self-sustained nuclear chain reaction. Thanks to this nuclide, humanity has great power in our hands. Without it, while we wouldn't need to fear nuclear weapons, neither would we be likely to ever reach the stars.
