Marie Curie: The Trailblazing Scientist Who Changed the History of Science

Marie Curie, as she became known when she adopted her husband’s last name, was not a woman of many words: only the essential ones. She had immigrated from Warsaw to France in 1891, when she was 24 years old, and following a while she not only aroused the admiration of her teachers, but she agreed to marry the most notable of them. Very soon, however, she demonstrated that, despite Dr. Curie being very illustrious, she ruled the laboratory. They formed a duo that changed the history of science thanks to the baptism of radioactivity and the discovery of two new chemical elements: polonium and radium. Marie won two Nobel Prizes, for Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911, and she was the first full professor at the venerable Sorbonne University, founded in 1257.
