Marie Curie (1867 - 1934)

In 1911, in the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a historic moment happened as Marie Curie stepped forward to receive her second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry. As the first person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields, she was honored for discovering radium and polonium and investigating their properties.

Marie Curie was born Skłodowska Maria on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland. Growing up under Russian occupation, she faced significant barriers to education but excelled academically. In 1891, she moved to Paris to study at the Sorbonne, where she earned degrees in physics and mathematics. There, she met and married Pierre Curie in 1895, and together they made groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity, leading to a shared Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903.

After Pierre's tragic death in 1906, Marie continued their work and became the first woman to hold a professorship at the Sorbonne. In 1911, she was awarded a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, for her discovery of radium and polonium.

During World War I, Curie developed mobile X-ray units, known as "Little Curies," which were used to treat wounded soldiers. Despite her immense contributions, her long-term exposure to radiation led to her death from aplastic anemia on July 4, 1934. Marie Curie's legacy endures through her pioneering research and its lasting impact on science and medicine.

[hannastaszak]

Pani Maria nazywała się Skłodowska - Curie, była Polką. Pierwiastek POLON nazwała na cześć swojej ojczyzny Polski. Wielki szacunek ❤

They received a standing ovation because she was literally was dying before their eyes for science.

[PolishGuy]

In Poland we're proud of her
She's Polish and her actual name is Maria Skłodowska-Curie (Curie was the surname of her husband)

Maria Skłodowska Curie - Polish great woman! First female winner of the two Noble prizes.

[farishafiy]

That feeling.. when others stand and bowed in recognition of your achievement. That kind of moment to be immersed with.. Mdm. Curie is wonderful!

*Мария Склодовская. Честь и хвала настоящим учёным.*

I’m thankful for her invention and sacrifice. X-ray is the cheapest and most useful radiological tool for a physician. I can’t even imagine medicine without X-ray machines. She has touched and helped innumerable lives❤

[chomik]

Poles can be proud of this woman - Maria Skłodowska Curie

[triaprima]

Marie SKŁODOWSKA - Curie. Polish scientist. Great woman

[zofiali]

Maria Składowska-Curie 🎉You should use her full name and surname. She said lots of times that her polish heritage was something she was proud of, hence why she named her finding "polon" 😅. She was polish woman that had moved out to France and get married to french man. She wouldn't be happy that you use only half of her surname.

[robertsiek]

Maria Sklodowska-Curie, discowered Polon, twice Nobel prize winner, great Polish lady!
