Marie
Skłodowska-Curie was
born 7 November 1867 and dead in the 4 July 1934. Was a French-Polish physicist
and chemist , famous for her work
about radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only
woman to win in two diferents tipe of nobels, and the only person to win in
multiple science. She was also the first female professor at the University of
Paris (La Sorbonne), and
in 1995 became the first woman to be buried on her own merits in the pantheon
of nobels in Paris.
She
was born in Warsaw, in what was
then the Kingdom of Poland. She studied at Warsaw's clandestine Floating
University and began her
practical scientific training in Warsaw. In 1891 when he have 24years, she
followed her older sister Bronistawa to
study in Paris, where she earned her higher degrees and conducted her
subsequent scientific work0. She won her Nobel Prize in Physics in the 1903 with her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri
Becquerel. She was the only winner of
the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Her
achievements included a theory of radioactivity (a term that she coined), techniques
for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two elements, polonium and radium. Under her direction, the
world's first studies were conducted into the treatment of neoplasms, using
radioactive isotopes. She founded the Curie
Institutes in Paris and in Warsaw, which remain major centres of
medical research today. During World War I, she established the first military
field radiological centres. While a French citizen, Marie Skłodowska-Curie (she
used both surnames) never lost her sense of Polish identity. She taught her
daughters the Polish languages and
took them on visits to Poland. She named the first chemical element that she discovered – polonium,
which she first isolated in 1898 – after her native country.
Curie
died in 1934 of a plastic anemia brought
on by her years of exposure to radiation.
