Understanding it's ok to be 'soft'

 Understanding it's ok to be 'soft' If they say they want to learn more about making YouTube videos, I'll fund the project and give them the chance to learn, even if YouTube isn't a platform we use as a company . I want to make it fun and keep them motivated by supporting their dreams. The millennials I manage are happy to get straight to the point with no fluff. Gen Z, on the other hand, requires me to be much more soft. I tend to lead with emotion rather than the cold hard facts. I try to let my Gen Z employees know what they did a good job on and what they can improve on for the next time. I don't have to do that with millennials because they'd prefer we get to the bottom line.

The experiment produced six unique atoms,

 The experiment produced six unique atoms,  each with the required 117 protons. It was declared a success in 2012, and four years later, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry – the world authority on chemistry – officially recognized Element 117 as part of the periodic table, along with three other new elements. Since Phelps was part of a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other institutions in Tennessee laid the groundwork for discovery, Element 117 was officially named “tennessine” (Ts). It’s the second-heaviest known element on Earth, and though its use is limited to research, scientists believe it is a critical stepping stone toward the creation of future superheavy elements. “We can’t imagine where tennessine could take us,” said author of “Superheavy: Making and Breaking the Periodic Table” Kit Chapman, noting human-generated elements are used “in smoke detectors, to treat cancers, even to power rovers on Mars.”
