The genius of Marie Curie - Shohini Ghose

Marie Skłodowska Curie’s revolutionary research laid the groundwork for our understanding of physics and chemistry, blazing trails in oncology, technology, medicine, and nuclear physics, to name a few. But what did she actually do? Shohini Ghose expounds on some of Marie Skłodowska Curie’s most revolutionary discoveries.

I also give props to her husband, he did not let the social mindset of his time deprive his beloved of the honor she deserves. He truly loved and had high regard of her.

She's the best role model a young scientist could have, male or female. Her sheer perseverance is astounding! She's such an inspiration

[nischalprajapati]

let's not forget her daughter AND her son-in-law both won nobel prizes too.

Marie : Physics Nobel Prize and Chemistry Nobel Prize
Pierre : Physics Nobel Prize
Her first daughter : Chemistry Nobel Prize
Her first son in law : Chemistry Nobel Prize
Her second son in law : Peace Nobel Prize
damn, the Curies and the Nobels should really make a wedding

"surviving largely on bread and tea and sometimes fainting from near starvation"

I see college students haven't changed over the centuries.

Marie Skłodowska Curie is amazing but what amazes me more is that she had worked with radioactive substances without any protection for half of her life but none of her children had radiation disease and she had lived quite a long life. That's a miracle

Marie Curie is one of the most inspirational women and scientists for me! Especially for her enduring efforts even though it hasn't been always easy for her back in the days.
Thanks for this video!

"he shared his lab and his heart with her" give me a partner like that

Girls, forget the guys from movies. You need a Pierre Curie. Period.

[toobashaikh]

I guess you could say that Pierre and Marie had chemistry between them xD

[stormsurge]

Her daughter Irene also won a Nobel prize, making Curies family with most Nobel prizes.

[sukiyakime]

i agree marie curie should be a role model for women, but pierre curie also should be a role model for men. he stand against people for his wife to win the prize with him.

[sergiovela]

such a remarkable woman, is it weird if I cried a little bit watching this?
also, she and Pierre are my OTP

[sumipun]

Women don’t need Prince Charming we need a Perrie Curie.
Who can open his heart, lab and fight for our right.

[bubblymochi]

It’s so nice that she married such a good man that would allow her accomplishments to be recognized. What a power couple.

[johnsamuel]

A heartful applause and salute to you mam!👏🙎✋

[abhilashdash]

this is a better love story than twilight

[this_is_patrick]

Pierre could've easily stole all of the credit for himself, yet he still went against everyone else's opinions and fought for the award and recognition that Marie clearly deserved.

The Curies really were model humans.

Random country wins 4 or 5 Nobel prizes.
Curie family alone wins five Nobel prizes.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the deep bond the Curies shared with one another? Couple goals if anything.
