Science is an ever evolving subject in the world. Science influences the way we live today and will continue to influence us in the future. Science branches all the way from helping us get into space, to creating new medicine to help people. There are many important scientist out there. One very influential scientist was Marie Curie. Marie Curie was born on November 17, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a country in the eastern part of Europe. She was the youngest of five siblings and her parents were Wladyslaw and Bronislawa Slowkowski. Marie Curie was very religious, as was her family, growing up early in life but she lost faith when her sister died of disease. Later she also lost her mother due to tuberculosis. She was married to Pierre Curie who was also influential in the science world

Even though she eventually worked in chemistry, and physics. She was working on a personal project studying the magnetic properties of various steel material. She met Pierre Curie here as she was looking for a lab to work in. She received two degrees in the field of chemistry and physics at the university. A very important part in Marieś scientific development was when she started looking at the radioactive materials of objects. She said that radioactivity was an atomic property and knew it had to be in some elements. She actually invented the word radioactivity after her studies. She discovered two new elements in search of radioactive objects. These elements were radium and polonium, which was named after Poland. Marie has numerous awards and is recognized across the science community for numerous things. Marie was the first woman to win a nobel prize. She actually won two, which also made her the first woman to win to nobel prizes. She published a paper on the magnetic properties of tempered steel, and her daughter also won a nobel prize. She was made ´´head of research¨ at the University of
