Science is the driving force behind the great minds of every age, and those who dare to study it take part in some of the greatest accomplishments of the human race. The world was forever changed on November 7, 1867 when Maria Sklodowska (who would later become the famed scientist “Madame Marie Curie”) was born. She did not enter into the world in a lovely place, but instead into the war torn country of Poland. Growing up was not easy for Maria and eventually, she had to leave her family in Poland to attend college in Paris at Sorbonne (this is when she changed her name from Maria to Marie).…

Marie Curie was such an intelligent woman who was able to make a huge contribution to history as she discovered things nobody even knew existed. Curie made a contribution to history to the extent where she died for the things she loved and not only that saved all of human kind by providing the race with her discovery of radiation and her invention of an x-ray machine. They x-ray machine was so important that it was even used in World War 1 to x-ray the soldiers in the army to identify what was wrong with them. Not once but twice she won Nobel Prizes for her efforts and became the first woman to do so. She also made history whilst working with fellow scientist Albert Einstein and Max Planck and helped make ground-breaking discoveries within…
Madame Curie was a physicist during World War I. She accomplished a lot in her life. She not only won the Nobel Peace Prize for her accomplishments but helped create the x-ray. She also discovered polonium and radium.…
Some may ask “Why did Marie Curie become famous?” Marie Curie lived in a time when people thought the only job a women should have is doing the chores and caring for their husband or family. But her devotion to science, despite what anyone thought, lead her to many amazing scientific discoveries. She was the first person to discover radium and polonium. They later realized that the radium could shrink cancerous tumors.…

The presentation, aptly named Manya after Marie Curie Sklodowska’s childhood nickname, was an impressive story telling of the life up to the beginnings of World War I of the Nobel Prize winning Chemist and Physicist Marie Curie Sklodowska. The presentation itself took place in Boettcher lecture hall 102 but was dressed up nicely to match important periods in the life of Marie Curie. The set consisted of a small table which held several notebooks and correspondence that were of import to Curie, such as those containing her Husband's notes and records on her daughter's height, weight, and cranial circumference. The second part of the set was a table containing all of Curies equipments for discovering polonium and radium. Concerningly, one of…
in psychology and an MBA in business administration in 1972. After college, she worked for many important companies, but she was not satisfied and felt like she was meant for something more. After doing some soul searching for a year she began researching her family tree and became interested in genealogy. It was during this time where she traveled to Louisiana, where her family originated from searching court records, interviewing people, reading letters, newspapers, diaries, etc. Her painstakingly family research led her to the discovery of her maternal and paternal ancestors.…
A- One of Marie Curie’s most honorable traits was her humility. Despite her tremendous findings in the field of science, she took no acclaim for herself. C- Curie instead devoted her time to helping others: “During WWI Marie Curie realized the potential of x-ray diagnosis and worked closely with doctors and the military to help with the diagnoses” (“Women in Chemistry”).…
There have been plentiful people worth recognizing on stamps because of their achievements, but there is one other person that I believe should be included. Marie Curie was a scientist that contributed several important discoveries to the world of science, and she was the first women to win a Nobel Prize. Moreover, Marie’s achievements have shown that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, which is why I believe that she should be nominated to appear on a stamp. Marie Curie demonstrated various actions and qualities in her life that are admirable to me. In the beginning of Marie's life, she was a secondary teacher with a general education and some scientific knowledge of her father.…

This book report will be about Marie Curie. She was the one who discovered radium. Marie discovered it because she was interested in figuring out what it was. Radium helped people back them by helping to create mobile X-ray units (Borzendowski 98) and glowing paint (Borzendowski 110). Today it is used for contact lenses, smoke detectors, alarms, microwaves, and medicines (Borzendowski 116).…
