Irène Joliot-Curie

Marie Sklodowska Curie was a Polish chemist who was born on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw. Exceeding all expectations, Curie excelled in and outside of the classroom by achieving a masters degree in physics and math. Curie was also the only woman of her time to win the Nobel Peace Prize twice in chemistry and in physics. Having one of the world’s most brilliant minds, Marie Curie discovered the field of atomic physics, polonium, leading to the development of the atom bomb, and radium, which paved…

Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Poland, she was the youngest of the five other children in her family. Her father was a math and physics teacher, and her mother was a principal. Marie’s parents highest priority was their children's education, all of their children went to school. Her father made up games to help his children learn geography. He read poems to them and taught them the five languages he knew. Then her mother became ill with a disease called tuberculosis. On to of that her…

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.…

The first woman to win a noble prize for not just Physics but Chemistry too, would have a dramatic impact on the world as we know it today. Marie Salomea Sklodowska was a polish scientist, born on November 7, 1867 in Warsaw, Congress Kingdom of Poland, Russia. Marie’s mother, Bronislawa, and father, Wladyslaw, were both teachers and wanted Marie to have an education. During school when Marie became fascinated with the art of science Marie’s parents were extremely encouraging and supportive.…

motivator than money. In the world of science, the Curie family is a prime example of scientists who gave up money in order to benefit the greater good. Furthermore, Mahatma Gandhi represents the world leaders who chose to do the moral thing as opposed to one that would bring in more money. And lastly, in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is the epitome of conscientious thinking in perhaps all literature. Marie Curie and her husband Pierre Curie spent the majority of their…

Marie Curie once said, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be misunderstood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” Marie Curie, a female rights activist who fought to not be ridiculed for her intelligence as it did not match her gender, justified that you do not need to be a man to be able to discover something that is helpful and key. In present day, we still use what Curie enforced. She forced upon the use of radioactive elements to be used in medical…

What makes Marie Curie outstanding is the fact that she is the only person to win two nobel prizes in different fields of science and the first woman to win one too. Most of her research and discoveries were with her husband. Together they discovered the elements: Radium and Polonium. Both of those elements were found in pitchblende. Pitchblende is basically a rock but it has a bunch of elements in it including Radium and Polonium. Marie Curie was remarkable chemist and physicist who had won…

“Is it right to probe so deeply into Nature's secrets? The question must here be raised whether it will benefit mankind, or whether the knowledge will be harmful,” noted Pierre Curie; a Nobel prize winning physicist who's work in radiation helped develop cancer treatments and nuclear energy. Dr. Curie observations on life can be applied to the reclaimed Elizabethan era tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Secrecy was an essential part of this play, as the famous lovers kept their affair a secret from…

Marie Salomea Sklodowska, other wise known as Marie Curie. Marie Curie was a french woman who worked in physics and chemistry. Marie is the most famous for her work with radioactivity, and the discovery of Polonium and Radium. Marie Curie was born November 7, 1867 in Warsaw, Poland. She is the daughter of Wladyslaw and Bronislava, who were both teachers. (Famous Scientists) Marie was the youngest of five children. As she grew up, she faced many obstacles such as, her family did not have a lot…

Marie Curie did just that. Born Marie Sklodowska in 1867 in Warsaw, Poland, Marie is best known for discovering the elements radium and polonium, and her study of radioactivity, which led to advances in the treatment of cancer and the development of nuclear power; both of which are still used today. Her work on radioactivity led to her being the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and advancement in the use of x-rays especially in the medical field. In 1903 her and her husband Pierre Curie were…
