An atom can undergo an infinite number of decay events while remaining the same element as long as it does not change its atomic number. For example, isotopes of an element can undergo decay processes like alpha or beta decay, yet still be classified as the same element if they retain the same number of protons. However, once the atomic number changes through decay, the atom transforms into a different element.
As of my last update in October 2023, Sue Hendrickson is alive. She is best known for her discovery of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton, named "Sue," in 1990. While her current activities may not be widely publicized, she has continued to engage in paleontological research and education, promoting the importance of science and fossil preservation. For the latest updates on her work, it's best to check recent news sources.
