Even though Curie became a French citizen, she never lost her Polish identity. She graduated first in her class at the Univeristy of Paris in 1893. One year later, she earned a master's degree in mathematics. Later, she met her husband, Pierre Curie, at the Municipal School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry. One year later, they were married.

Marie and her husband created a theory of radioactivity (a term made by her and her husband). They found different ways to separate radioactive isotopes and discovered two new elements: polonium and radium. The term poloniumwas named after Poland, her home country. In 1898, the Curies and Gustave Bemont discovered radium, one of the most radioactiv...
After World War I, Marie started to raise money for radiation research. She was invited to tour the United States to recommend and speed up her project of studying radiation. She sailed for the United States in 1921. She collected enough money and equipment for a new laboratory. Marie then started speaking at meetings to raise more money and became...
Near the 1920s, Curie and many of her colleagues began to suffer from symptoms of cancer. Curie began to lose her sight, and cataract surgeries did not help.

"Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.""You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement."“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”“I am among those who think that science has great beauty.”Marie attended Flying University, a college that (illegally) welcomed female students and had to change locations several times to "hide" from authorities.She was the first woman in Paris to earn her doctorate degree.Much of her lab work was done in her shed. A chemist named Wilhelm Ostwalddescribed it as "a cross between a stable and a potato shed."Five people in Marie's family accepted a Nobel Prize.As one of the most famous scientists in history, Marie Curie has become an icon in the scientific world and has received tributes from across the globe, even in the realm of pop culture. She also received many honorary degrees from universities across the world. Marie Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win two Nobel...

Marie Curie was a French physicist who was born in Poland. Famous for her work on radioactivity, she won two Nobel Prizes. With French physicist Henri Becquerel and her husband, Pierre Curie, she was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize for Physics. She was the sole winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize for Chemistry.
Marie Curie (1867–1934) was a Polish scientist whose groundbreaking research on radioactivity won her two Nobel Prizes, and led to a revolutionary new treatment for cancer. Marie lived at a time when women’s career opportunities were restricted, so her achievements were even more remarkable.
